Running Out of Money in Retirement Is Avoidable—If You Do This
"I'm going to run out of money." That's the fear that stands between so many seniors and enjoying their Golden Years. That's the fear that delays retirement five years too long. The fear that causes new retirees to pinch every penny instead of buying a new car, joining their local country club, or travelling the world. The fear that leaves so many seniors thinking "Coulda ... Woulda ... Shoulda ..." at the end of retirement. In fact, according to a study by the Allianz Center for the Future of Retirement , 64% of Americans are more afraid of running out of money in retirement than they are afraid of death! Today, I'm going to try to bring one of those fears down to size. Because, unlike dying, your odds of running out of money in retirement can be reduced, if not eliminated, with hard work, diligent saving, and comprehensive financial planning.
