Retirement Planning Designed in Buffalo NY

There are two phases to Retirement Planning in our research in Buffalo NY.  The first is the Accumulation Phase; during this phase the goal is to save as much money as possible.  This mission should take a lifetime and should start immediately when people begin their working career.  Retirement accounts are important because of their tax advantages; however, it is often just as important to keep money in liquid accounts.  Call us in Buffalo NY  716-862-0500 to discuss these key Financial Planning and Retirement Planning differences. 

 

The second part of Retirement Planning is the Distribution Phase; this is discussed in some detail in the other sections of our website.  If you need more information on either phase of Retirement Planning--Please call our office at 716-862-0500.

 

The importance of Retirement Planning, we discovered in Buffalo NY,  generally occurs when you realize that time is either your friend or is working against you.  When you are young--many, many years from retirement, and not even thinking about retirement planning, is the time when you should be making the sacrifice to force your retirement accumulations to be their strongest.  Accumulating early allows time to be your friend and compounding works given a time frame.  The rule of 72 is a mathematical calculation which tells how long it takes for money to double.  You simply divide the rate of return by 72 to arrive at the number.  For example, if you are receiving a 7.20 rate of return, divided by 72 you would find money doubling in 10 years.  If you had a 10% rate of return, for example, and divided it by 72, you would expect your money to double in 7.2 years. 

 

These benchmarks are great and point to potential returns, not actuals, as there are other variable factors such as inflation, up, down, and flat markets, as well as life events, all of which affect the outcome.  This guideline is a basic planning formula to guide you toward the necessity of saving for retirement. 

 

Oftentimes clients have Defined Benefit Plans which supplement their retirement.  These can be a double edged sword at retirement as there are multiple complex choices which need to be thought through and difficult decisions reached.  The decisions are oftentimes irreversible.  We, at Allaire Financial Strategies, Buffalo NY, offer an analysis of these options and some solutions which may enhance these options for you.  Proper Financial planning and Retirement Planning may help frame these options early enough to make these Retirement Planning solutions meaningful for you and your family.
