How Much Money Will You Need In Retirement What is enough If you re considering retiring in the near future you ve probably heard or read that you need about 70 of your year end salary to live comfortably in retirement This estimate is frequently repeated but that doesn t mean it is true for everyone It may not be true for you Consider the following factors Health Most of us will face a major health problem at some point in our lives Think for a moment about the costs of prescription medicines and recurring treatment for chronic ailments These costs can really take a bite out of retirement income even with a great health care plan Heredity If you come from a family where people frequently live into their 80s and 90s you may live as long or longer Imagine retiring at 55 and living to 95 or 100 You would need 40 45 years of steady retirement income Portfolio Many people retire with investment portfolios they haven t reviewed in years with asset allocations that may no longer be appropriate New retirees sometimes carry too much risk in their portfolios with the result being that the retirement income from their investments fluctuates wildly with the volatility of the market Other retirees are super conservative investors their portfolios are so risk averse that they can t earn enough to keep up even moderate inflation and over time they find they have less and less purchasing power Spending habits Do you only spend 70 of your salary Probably not If you re like many Americans you probably spend 90 or 95 of it Will your spending habits change drastically once you retire Again probably not Will you have enough When it comes to retirement income a casual assumption may prove to be woefully inaccurate You won t learn how much retirement income you ll need by reading this article Consider meeting with us and we will help estimate your lifestyle needs and shortterm and long term expenses 2333 Camino Del Rio South Suite 240 San Diego CA 92108 P 619 640 2622 F 619 640 2600 www CopiaWM com Investment advice offered through Copia Wealth Management Advisors Inc Copia Wealth Management Advisors Inc is a registered investment adviser
Could Insurance Rescue You in Retirement Certain kinds of coverage may help to sustain you financially in an emergency You plan for retirement with expectations in mind You hope to enjoy a certain quality of life with sufficient income resulting from smart financial choices Ideally your future unfolds as planned j But what if the unexpected happens Will you have the right insurance in place to deal with it Insurance matters more in retirement planning than you may think It is seldom top of mind in retirement planning conversations but the right coverage could help you maintain some financial equilibrium in the face of sudden money pressures A life insurance payout could provide income for a surviving spouse Thanks to late night TV commercials marketing small funeral insurance policies many retirees associate life insurance benefits with paying off burial costs Benefits from larger policies can potentially accomplish much more k Suppose a 75 year old widow receives a 500 000 death benefit from a policy purchased by her late spouse An income stream could be arranged from that death benefit with the widow receiving 20 000 annually from that lump sum or more into her nineties The payout could also be invested Liability insurance could help you out in retirement As an example say you are one of three drivers involved in a multi car accident that leaves a teenager with a disability You are the only driver cited for a traffic violation and you happen to be in your seventies You could now be a target for predators and creditors Say you have some neighbors over for a barbecue and one of them stumbles on your patio and breaks an arm or a hip a lawsuit may be next Few retirees think about or carry umbrella liability policies but more may want to consider them What if you or your spouse need long term care Genworth s 2016 Cost of Care Survey says that the median cost of a semi private nursing home room was 6 844 last year How many years of such care would you be willing to pay for out of your savings True long term care insurance has grown costlier True some people may never need it Even so three or four years of such care for you your spouse or your elderly parents might draw down your retirement savings more quickly than you would imagine Think of how large those costs might be ten or twenty years from now Long term care coverage may end up being worth every penny 1 k Insuring yourself against the above possibilities is only prudent With such coverage in place you may go a long way toward insuring the quality of your retirement as well Citations 1 genworth com about us industry expertise cost of care html 6 22 16 2333 Camino Del Rio South Suite 240 San Diego CA 92108 P 619 640 2622 F 619 640 2600 www CopiaWM com www CWMAinc com Investment advice offered through Copia Wealth Management Advisors Inc Copia Wealth Management Advisors Inc is a registered investment adviser
The Risk of Being a Suddenly Single Woman Contending with the possibility of widowhood On average women outlive their husbands According to the Social Security Administration s estimate the average 65 year old woman will outlive the average 65 year old man by more than two years dying at age 86 Averages aside it also estimates that about a quarter of today s 65 yearolds will live into their nineties Around 10 will live to age 95 or beyond 1 Eyeing these figures it is easy to deduce that some women may outlive their spouses by five years or longer and contend with complex financial issues after age 85 There is one detail however that all these facts and figures leave out The average age of widowhood in the U S is 59 A widow might spend 30 or more years managing her finances Is she prepared for this possibility 2 Too often conversations about money are male driven A recent Key Private Bank survey confirms this The wealth management firm polled financial professionals and the advisors responding said that women took the lead in just 3 of their talks with married couples More than 80 of these advisors said that most of their female clients had no contingency plan to respond to the risk of being widowed 2 Women need to plan for the probability of someday managing their finances Given the above statistics probability is not too strong a word What steps should be taken Both spouses should be financially literate Some women are extremely well versed in investing retirement planning and personal finance matters A successive investment policy can be determined A widow may want or need to take a different investment approach than the one stated in a couple s investment policy statement IPS This approach needs to be one she is comfortable with but it must not be so risk averse that it jeopardizes her potential to sustain her standard of living in the face of inflation
Sufficient insurance and a thoughtful estate plan need to be in place If a spouse dies the death benefit from a permanent life insurance policy may ease some of the financial pressures that follow Upto date beneficiary designations trusts and other estate planning mechanisms may help assets transfer from spouse to spouse and within the family without contention or undue delay A good estate plan clearly defines the steps of the asset transfer process for a surviving spouse and other heirs An asset map should be prepared for a surviving spouse Some widows must search for vital financial documents because a deceased spouse left them in an obscure location Other times a widow is left with only a hazy understanding of how many accounts there are how they are titled and how to address the requirements of asset distribution or transfer Each spouse should have a copy of a document or access to an online or brick and mortar vault where this information is kept This is the information from which much of a widow s financial future may be planned With a clear understanding of where she stands financially a widow may evaluate her investment and wealth management options and take steps toward the next phase of life with some confidence Citations 1 ssa gov planners lifeexpectancy html 12 18 17 2 cnbc com 2017 09 05 how to prepare for being suddenly single html 9 5 17 License 0C72164 0G81294 Copia Wealth Management Insurance Services 2333 Camino Del Rio South Suite 240 San Diego CA 92108 P 619 640 2622 F 619 640 2600 www CopiaWM com www CWMAinc com Investment advice offered through Copia Wealth Management Advisors Inc Copia Wealth Management Advisors Inc is a registered investment adviser
Insurance Investments A good financial strategy is not just about making money it is also about protection Some people mistake investing for financial planning Their financial strategy is an investing strategy in which they chase the return and focus on the yield of their portfolio As they do so they miss the big picture Investing represents but one facet of long term financial planning Trying to build wealth is one thing trying to protect it is another An effort must be made to manage risk Insurance can play a central role in wealth protection That role is underappreciated partly because some of the greatest risks to wealth go unnoticed in daily life Five days a week investors notice what happens on Wall Street the market is constantly top of mind What about those back of mind things investors may not readily acknowledge What if an individual suddenly cannot work Without disability insurance a seriously injured or ill person out of the workforce may have to dip into savings to replace income i e reduce his or her net worth As the Council for Disability Awareness notes the average length of a long term disability claim is nearly three years Workers compensation insurance will only pay out if a disability directly relates to an incident that occurs at work and most long term disabilities are not workplace related Disability insurance can commonly replace 40 70 of an individual s income Minus disability coverage imagine the financial impact of going for instance three years without work and what that could do to a person s net worth and retirement savings 1 What if an individual suddenly dies If a household relies on that person s income how does it cope financially with that income abruptly disappearing Does it spend down its savings or its invested assets In such a crisis life insurance can offer relief The payout from a policy with a six figure benefit can provide the equivalent of years of income Optionally that payout can be invested Life insurance proceeds are usually exempt from income tax although any interest received is taxable 2
Most people want a say in what happens to their wealth after they die Again insurance can play a role At a basic level those with larger estates may use life insurance to address potentially large liabilities such as business loans mortgage payments and estate taxes An ILIT may also shield the cash value of a life insurance policy from predators and creditors Beyond that a sizable life insurance policy can be creatively incorporated into an irrevocable life insurance trust ILIT through which an individual can plan to exclude life insurance proceeds from his or her taxable estate 3 Yes the estate tax exemption is high right now 5 49 million Even so if a person dies in 2017 while owning a 5 million life insurance policy and a 500 000 home his or her estate would be taxed An ILIT would be a useful estateplanning tool in such a circumstance 3 Why do people underinsure themselves as they strive to build wealth Partly it is because death and disability are uncomfortable conversation topics Many people neglect estate planning due to this same discomfort and because they lack knowledge of just how insurance can be used to promote wealth preservation The bottom line Insurance is a vital necessary aspect of a long term financial plan Insurance may not be as exciting to the average person as investments but it can certainly help a household maintain some financial equilibrium in a crisis and it also can become a crucial part of estate planning Citations 1 nerdwallet com blog insurance disability insurance explained 6 27 16 2 tinyurl com knroq9u 3 27 17 3 thebalance com irrevocable life insurance trust ilit estate planning 3505379 3 21 17 2333 Camino Del Rio South Suite 240 San Diego CA 92108 P 619 640 2622 F 619 640 2600 www CopiaWM com Investment advice offered through Copia Wealth Management Advisors Inc Copia Wealth Management Advisors Inc is a registered investment adviser
