Planning for Retirement Beyond the Retirement Date

Many financial plans tend to focus primarily on the retirement date as a definitive endpoint, emphasizing accumulation and savings to ensure financial security post-retirement. However, it is crucial to consider the period beyond retirement, which involves a shift towards using accumulated assets effectively for post-retirement life. Clients and planners often overlook vital aspects such as the decision on social security timing, replacing lost benefits like group life insurance, navigating Medicare complexities, reconsidering beneficiaries and estate planning integration.
