We will work with you to better understand your assets and what they want those assets to do for you in the future. We look at the whole picture of your financial life, including debts, assets, expenses and income, to help clients determine what those goals should be.
If you don’t have as much saved as you should, there are ways to contribute more now to have enough later. Once you turn 50, the IRS allows you to increase the maximum annual contribution you can make to both your IRA and 401(k) accounts. This is called a “catch-up” contribution. The limits can change annually, so double-check how much you can add.
It can be tempting to chase higher returns, but those usually come with higher risk levels that you may not be able to tolerate at this stage.
It also wouldn’t hurt to start reducing expenses. At the very least, it’s good practice for when you get older and have a smaller income. The money you save from not being as extravagant can also go into investments.
Try to reduce any outstanding debts. If you have a mortgage, consider paying it off early to get that expense out of the way before you retire
The premiums you pay. The money you use to purchase a contract is called the “premium,” and annuities can accept either a single premium or a series of ongoing premiums.
When the company makes payments to you. Payments can start immediately or be deferred to a date of your choosing.
How the premium earns interest. Interest is either earned by a rate agreed upon in advance or by crediting interest based on an external market-based index like the S&P 500 index. The two main types are variable and fixed or fixed indexed annuities.
Penalties associated with early withdrawals. Although you can earn interest in an annuity, it is not a savings account. If you buy an annuity, it should be used to reach long-term goals. All annuities have surrender charges, so make sure your adviser helps you understand them.
