Book excerpt: PRE- AND POST-RETIREMENT PLANNING THAT MAKES SENSE GETTING STARTED IN A FINANCIALLY SECURE RETIREMENT If you want to make the most of your retirement years, you have to seriously think about the retirement lifestyle you want and the path that will get you there. In order to do this, you need reliable retirement information that will allow you to properly chart your course. Nobody knows this better than author Henry Hebeler, who retired from the corporate world more than fifteen years ago--and quickly discovered that much of the retirement planning advice available wasn't helping people accomplish their goals. Now, with Getting Started in a Financially Secure Retirement, Hebeler shares his experience in this field with you and reveals what it really takes to achieve the retirement you want. Written in a straightforward and accessible style, Getting Started in a Financially Secure Retirement dismisses the assumptions that many popular retirement planning methods make and addresses some of today's most important retirement issues, including everything from planning with realistic economic inputs to neglected subjects such as replacement budgeting, reverse dollar cost averaging, and the need for resiliency when encountering surprise events. Filled with in-depth insights, practical advice, and helpful retirement planning tools, Getting Started in a Financially Secure Retirement will allow you to apply Hebeler's proven principles to your own specific situation--whether you're already retired or still working--and make more informed financial decisions as you plan for the years ahead.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains plain talk about a simple event that often sounds complicated. The reason I'm publishing this is to give seniors who have accumulated fewer assets than traditionally thought necessary for retirement, a fresh perspective. Experts say about 80% of the Baby Boom generation is at risk of running out of money before they die. AARP says that 40% of them plan to work until they drop. All their lives, their sheer numbers have caused change in every aspect of American society. Traditional retirement will also change as the Boomers enter this space. Deploying insufficient "nest egg" assets using counter intuitive methods will prompt tens of millions of them to retire with a savage defensive posture that can provide safety and security until the end. This book is not about investment strategies, allocation methods or subjects that many financial books cover in detail for the scant minority of Boomers who have accumulated sufficient savings to retire in style. It's for the rest of us with insufficient savings that traditional guidelines suggest will run out before we die. If the traditional odds indicate that 80% of us are at risk of running out of money before we die, obviously we don't want to be running with that crowd - using the traditional guidelines. Am I right? From my perspective, I believe a majority of the "at risk" Boomers can beat the odds and retire safely, and I intend to be one of them... I'll share so you can too. This is a very skinny book. It's not a literary masterpiece by any stretch of your imagination, its' beauty is in its' brevity, its' strength is in identifying why to do what you need to do to proactively protect yourself, your spouse, your family and your retirement from the unintended consequences of unanticipated events that can confiscate everything you have, leaving you helpless and homeless at a time when recovery would be impossible. Stop. Read that run-on sentence again. After just a couple hours of reading you'll have a much firmer grasp of where you are, and how to carve out a safe and secure retirement on a shoe string budget. I implore you to invest those couple hours to plow through this... for you. Retirement for at-risk Boomers will be as serious as armed combat. I mean no slight to the war-time experiences endured by combat veterans, but how can you expect to have fun moving forward if you're constantly looking over your shoulder for trouble, like an infantry soldier? I learned serious lessons in Vietnam that correlate to what I'm seeing on this retirement horizon. Fun and happiness are reserved for forward lookers keeping an eye out for the next adventure and any good reason to enjoy the moments at hand... but here's the rub; It would be absolutely irresponsible of you to not spend what little time and effort it takes to lock down security for the rest of your life, wouldn't it? When I say that the protections need to be in place in advance of any unplanned incident or emergency, your professional legal and financial advisers will support this, which is why I call "locking-in security" an immediate necessity. It's not complicated at all.

American retirees face a looming crisis. We are living longer than ever before, and most experts predict a dramatic rise in tax rates within the next ten years.

Tax-Free Income for Life lays out a comprehensive, step-by-step roadmap for a secure retirement. McKnight shows how the combination of guaranteed, inflation-adjusted lifetime income and a proactive asset-shifting strategy can shield you from longevity risk and the cascade of unintended consequences that result from higher taxes. It's an innovative and proven strategy that maximizes return while effectively neutralizing the two biggest risks to retirement savings. If ever there were a solution for the American retiree, it's guaranteed tax-free income for life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two fundamentally different philosophies for retirement income planning, which I call probability-based and safety-first, diverge on the critical issue of where a retirement plan is best served: in the risk/reward trade-offs of a diversified and aggressive investment portfolio that relies primarily on the stock market, or in the contractual protections of insurance products that integrate the power of risk pooling and actuarial science alongside investments. The probability-based approach is generally better understood by the public. It advocates using an aggressive investment portfolio with a large allocation to stocks to meet retirement goals. My earlier book How Much Can I Spend in Retirement? A Guide to Investment-Based Retirement Strategies provides an extensive investigation of probability-based approaches. But this investments-only attitude is not the optimal way to build a retirement income plan. There are pitfalls in retirement that we are less familiar with during the accumulation years. The nature of risk changes. Longevity risk is the possibility of living longer than planned, which could mean not having resources to maintain the retiree's standard of living. And once retirement distributions begin, market downturns in the early years can disproportionately harm retirement sustainability. This is sequence-of-returns risk, and it acts to amplify the impacts of market volatility in retirement. Traditional wealth management is not equipped to handle these new risks in a fulfilling way. More assets are required to cover spending goals over a possibly costly retirement triggered by a long life and poor market returns. And yet, there is no assurance that assets will be sufficient. For retirees who are worried about outliving their wealth, probability-based strategies can become excessively conservative and stressful. This book focuses on the other option: safety-first retirement planning. Safety-first advocates support a more bifurcated approach to building retirement income plans that integrates insurance with investments, providing lifetime income protections to cover spending. With risk pooling through insurance, retirees effectively pay an insurance premium that will provide a benefit to support spending in otherwise costly retirements that could deplete an unprotected investment portfolio. Insurance companies can pool sequence and longevity risks across a large base of retirees, much like a traditional defined-benefit company pension plan or Social Security, allowing for retirement spending that is more closely aligned with averages. When bonds are replaced with insurance-based risk pooling assets, retirees can improve the odds of meeting their spending goals while also supporting more legacy at the end of life, especially in the event of a longer-than-average retirement. We walk through this thought process and logic in steps, investigating three basic ways to fund a retirement spending goal: with bonds, with a diversified investment portfolio, and with risk pooling through annuities and life insurance. We consider the potential role for different types of annuities including simple income annuities, variable annuities, and fixed index annuities. I explain how different annuities work and how readers can evaluate them. We also examine the potential for whole life insurance to contribute to a retirement income plan. When we properly consider the range of risks introduced after retirement, I conclude that the integrated strategies preferred by safety-first advocates support more efficient retirement outcomes. Safety-first retirement planning helps to meet financial goals with less worry. This book explains how to evaluate different insurance options and implement these solutions into an integrated retirement plan.
