1-Minute Video:

If you’re a retiree and nearing retirement you could be making these big mistakes with your money . 

#1 – Investing Your money like you did when you were younger and working

#2 – Not knowing how much risk you have in your portfolio right now, therefore not knowing how much you could lose in the next stock market crash

#3 - Riding out all stock market losses, believing you’ll always receive a 10 percent rate of return from the stock market if you hang on.

#4 - Not knowing how much income you can safely take out of your assets and how long your money will last

#5 - Not knowing the total fees you pay both direct and hidden, believing you’re paying 1 percent in fees when you could be paying 3 percent or more per year. 

 #6 – Because you think your advisor is your friend, not asking for a comprehensive written retirement income plan detailing the lifetime income you’ll receive, the income tax you’ll pay, or how much you can leave your beneficiaries.

#7 - Not using your money for the reason you saved it which was to spend it, and continuing to worry about your money day-after-day, year-after-year.
