Getting A Start on Your Retirement Planning

Planning for retirement is an important thing to consider at any age. Taking a proactive approach and getting an early start on planning and saving can set you up for future success. Starting to plan your retirement early in your career also provides two key elements of investing – time and compounding interest. As you approach retirement age, having a retirement plan becomes more and more critical; this is where Peak Insurance Agency found its specialty. Our staff has years of experience working with clients to create and execute an effective retirement plan that allows them to live comfortably during the course of their retirement.

Income Planning

In today’s society, more people are living paycheck to paycheck as opposed to developing an income plan to set up their future retirement. Income planning is an important factor to consider when discussing your retirement.

There are many factors to consider when retiring. What happens when retirement accounts are on the decline? What if you need more income than what you already earn from your retirement? Are your accounts qualified or non-qualified and do they have withdrawal penalties? How does your tax situation change with an income plan? Where do you start?! Have you given thought to the possibility of social security being absolved? You need a back-up plan.

Income planning isn’t a simple concept, which is why it is to your benefit to contact professionals. Peak Insurance Agency knows how to plan for your financial future. We consider numerous variables, including inflation and taxes, and look to develop a reliable income plan for your retirement.

Whether or not you currently have a 401 K plan does not affect whether you can contribute to an IRA fund. In 2017, you were able to contribute up to $5,500 to your IRA (an additional $1,000 if you are above the age of 50) if you qualify. However, the capacity to make deductible contributions to your traditional IRA may be limited if you do participate in a 401 K Plan; it all depends on your salary.
