Frequently asked questions

Please find below a concise selection of questions we are often asked.

What is retirement planning?

Retirement planning is the process of preparing for financial independence in your later years. To summarise, it involves estimating expenses, determining potential retirement income sources, and saving and investing to secure your financial future. Effective retirement planning ensures you have sufficient funds to enjoy a comfortable and secure lifestyle post-retirement.

What does a retirement planner do?

A retirement planner helps you create a plan for achieving a financially secure retirement. They assess your financial situation, set realistic retirement goals, and devise a savings and investment plan. The benefits of working with a retirement planner include tailored advice, asset allocation, investment risk management, and peace of mind about your financial future.

What are the most common retirement planning mistakes people make?

Some of the most common mistakes include not setting clear retirement goals, starting to save too late, and having unrealistic growth expectations for your investments. These errors can lead to insufficient funds in retirement. Setting defined goals, beginning early, and having realistic expectations are crucial for successful retirement planning.

How much money do I need to retire on?

The amount needed to retire varies based on personal lifestyle choices and your desired standard of living in retirement. A retirement planner can help determine the required savings to meet your income needs in later life, considering factors like life expectancy and potential health care costs.

When should I work with a retirement planner?

Working with a retirement planner is a personal choice, but it’s beneficial if you’re concerned about your financial future. They can provide valuable guidance and strategies at any stage of your life, whether you’re just starting or nearing retirement. Engaging with a retirement planner allows more time for effective planning and investment growth.
