Can you afford to retire? We all wonder if we will have a sufficient amount of assets to fund our retirement, but are we making the right choices now? A 401(k) or an IRA is a great place to start, but the planning should not end there. Planning for retirement is not as simple as opening an account, it requires constant attention to monitor areas such as potential for risk, asset allocation model, productivity rate, insurance needs and estate planning needs. It may seem burdensome, but proper preparation is the key to success, security and independence in retirement.
