What Is Retirement Savings and Income Strategy?

A retirement savings and income strategy is a set of documents that contain a person’s current financial information and long-term monetary goals. The plan also includes strategies that can be used to achieve those goals. Retirement savings and income strategies can be produced independently, but people often seek assistance in the process. That’s why companies like American Family Solutions offer full-service retirement savings and income strategies to their customers. 

Why Do You Need a Retirement Savings and Income Strategy?

A retirement savings and income strategy can help you prepare for the future by allowing you to lay out all of your financial goals in a concise document. With a retirement savings and income strategy available, it’s easier to understand if all of your financial needs are being met. Although retirement savings and income strategies don’t have a set template, a licensed retirement savings and income strategist should be able to produce a plan that assesses risk, informs investments, and minimizes tax burden. An estate plan can also be included to arrange for the benefit and protection of your heirs. 

How Are Retirement Savings and Income Strategies Made?

Retirement savings and income strategies involve several steps. First, you calculate your net worth, then you determine your cash flow, and after that, you balance priorities. Here’s a little more information about each step. 

Determining Cash Flow

Cash flow is defined as the amount of money coming in and coming out. By documenting transactions, you can track the flow of cash in and out. Once you understand how much money is being spent and how much is being earned, you can determine how much you have available for saving, investing, and buying necessities.

It’s best to evaluate an entire year because expenses can change seasonally. By doing this, you can avoid over or underestimating what you spend in the given time frame.

When working to determine cash flow, your retirement savings and income strategist will document how much you’ve paid for basic housing expenses, like rent and utilities and credit card interest. Then, they’ll add categories for food, transportation, medical insurance, clothing, and other forms of spending, like entertainment and vacation travel.

Organizing Your Priorities

To get the most out of a retirement savings and income strategy, you must have clearly defined goals. Your retirement savings and income strategist will help you figure out what takes priority and develop a retirement savings and income strategy that will help you reach your objectives. This may involve matching you with a detailed savings plan or suggesting specific investments that will help you prepare for the future.
