Retirement is something that we must prepare for and is something that we must be satisfied with – for we can only do it once.  The below article explains some of the regrets retiree’s have expressed.

Retiree’s expressed regrets of not having a well planned idea of retirement.  The top regret of individuals was that they failed to have a financial plan.  A financial plan the includes, taxes, income and investments.

We all need to take the time to better understand what a premature IRA withdraw is, a botched roth roll out strategy or not moving for better tax reduction and deduction – for example, moving to a different state for lower, state, local, property and federal tax.

The article summed up the below as the top 6 regret’s of retiree’s:

  1. Not saving enough
  2. not saving during the times they were making the most money
  3. retiring early
  4. withdrawing from a retirement fund
  5. thinking social security would be enough to carry them through
  6. medical surprises and the cost of medical care due to aging and decline

Don’t let retirement be a regret for you.
