In Retirement – Retirement Investment Management
Retirement is an exciting phase of life. But it comes with its own financial challenges and opportunities. Managing your money in retirement is crucial. It ensures you can enjoy the retirement you’ve dreamed of. At Plan4Wealth, we offer a Retirement Investment Management service. This service helps you navigate the complexity of managing your finances in retirement. This gives you peace of mind.
What's Involved in Managing Your Financial Affairs in Retirement?
Managing your financial affairs within retirement goes beyond simply having savings in place. It involves a strategic approach to:
- Meeting Retirement Goals: You need to use savings as planned to reach your retirement goals. These goals include traveling, hobbies, and helping family.
- Sticking to a Retirement Budget: This means making a plan. You must update it as needed to live within your planned retirement budget. It should include expected expenses and income sources.
- Maintain Emergency Funds: Be ready for unexpected expenses. Keep an emergency fund in ‘safe’ investments.
- Centrelink Liaison: Keeping your Centrelink records up to date, and claim more entitlements when you can.
- Monitoring Investments: Have a plan to check and adjust your investments regularly. Track them in line with your changing appetite for risk over time.
- Investing an Inheritance: If you’ve received an inheritance, you need to make informed choices about how to invest or manage it.
- Exploring Downsizing: Consider downsizing your home. It’s a way to free up capital or cut expenses when the time is right.
- Accessing Aged Care Services: i.e. exploring financial options and services for the elderly. Access quality care at your timing and choosing, without harming your finances.
- Leaving a Legacy: Planning how to leave a meaningful legacy for your heirs or charitable causes.
- Estate Planning Considerations: Plan for your assets to be distributed as you wish through comprehensive estate planning.
