80 is the new 60

Retirement is one word, but three phases

Retirement does not equal old

The definition of “old” is changing. It used to be 62, about the time we would retire. Now that we’re living longer, many of us don’t feel old until we’re in our 80s and we lose our independence. In fact, investors tell us that they expect to go through three stages of retirement:

Transition

Still working, but in a reduced or different capacity

My Time

Focused on travel and leisure

The Last Waltz

Leading a relaxed, simpler life, eventually focusing on health issues 

Financial needs will vary across the three phases, but most investors underestimate how much they’ll need for all three phases of retirement, particularly “The Last Waltz”, when healthcare expenses typically escalate.
