The Difference between ‘Retirement Planning’ and ‘Retirement Income Planning

Source: www.greateribm.files.wordpress.com

• Retirement Planning = ‘getting you to retirement’

• Retirement Income Planning = ‘Intelligent Disassembly’ of

what you have taken a life time to accumulate

When you retire, ALL THE RULES CHANGE

Retirement Income Planning - a completely different process

Requires different tools, strategies and skill sets to

- construct and implement- adjust at life altering events- facilate efficient wealth transfer

- build a cash flow strategy- address market risk- achieve tax efficiency- achieve cost efficiency

The Definition of Insanity: Doing the same things but expecting different results

Manage throughout the Retirement Life Cycle

Structural and Investment Considerations

Do not get stuck in the ‘insanity time bubble‘ when you move into retirement

The Retirement Life Cycle – It‘s no longer an ‘IF‘ it‘s a ‘WHEN‘

Time Hub

• Target retirement date?

• About to start income?

• Commencing retirement at the same time?

• Are you “transitioning”?

• Is our retirement lifestyle changing?
