Falling behind on retirement savings? 4 steps to get back on track in 2024
This MarketWatch article discusses planning strategies for people approaching retirement. In the article, David Schneider states, “Make sure you have a plan. If you don’t do the planning, you really won’t have a successful retirement,” adding, “Your 50s are a really important time to be very serious,” and to “Hunker down and get serious. Every investment needs to be prudent and diversified. Increase any savings, if possible. Make catch-up contributions, if possible.”
Social Security is not enough: How to set up alternative retirement income
In this article about retirement income, David A. Schneider states, “Many people can benefit from waiting until 70 to collect Social Security since it is the only government-guaranteed, inflation-protected income source.”
The article says, “Schneider points to the fact that filing for benefits early can hurt your monthly payout while waiting to claim after full retirement age can boost your benefit 8 percent a year. The upshot: If you claim at age 62, you can earn a check that’s just 70 percent of your full retirement benefit, while if you wait, you can boost your payout to about 124 percent of your full benefit.”
