Retirement changes everything — especially how you feel about your money. After years of saving, spending can feel uncomfortable. But a clear strategy helps you move forward with confidence.
Start with a conservative budget and give yourself permission to spend those amounts. Next, consider adding guaranteed income, like an annuity, to create steady cash flow. A cash cushion helps you avoid selling in down markets, so try to keep about a year of withdrawals in a cash account and three to five years' of withdrawals in short-term investments. Review your plan at least annually and adjust after major life changes. And stay flexible — adjusting spending when markets decline can help your retirement strategy endure.
With a thoughtful approach, you can help make your savings last and enjoy the retirement you’ve earned. A financial advisor can help you build a strategy tailored to your goals and your lifestyle.
