OXNARD, Calif., Sept. 25, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Baby boomers could potentially live 25 to 30 years in their retirement years. Yet planning to be financially secure for the rest of a potentially long life requires making a series of complex decisions, each with high stakes.
Steve Vernon, FSA, retirement author and researcher, has published a seven-part series on Forbes.com that describes common retirement planning mistakes. Vernon says avoiding these seven mistakes will put boomers on a path to a financially secure retirement:
Mistake #1: Retiring too soon
Mistake #2: Basing your retirement decision on a “magic number”
Mistake #3: Starting Social Security too early
Mistake #4: Assuming you can work indefinitely
Mistake #5: Assuming Medicare is the only health insurance you need
Mistake #6: Automatically assuming you won’t move in retirement
Mistake #7: Planning just for the “vacation” part of retirement
Vernon’s series details each of these mistakes and offers strategies for individuals to improve life in retirement. The series is based on Vernon’s recent book Retirement Game-Changers: Strategies for a Healthy, Financially Secure, and Fulfilling Long Life. Each chapter starts with mistakes to avoid and strategies to further improve life in retirement.
A summary of Vernon’s series can be found here.
