Planning your Retirement is one of the most important things that anyone can do, yet so many people fail to make adequate preparations. There are many factors to consider when you are looking ahead to the time you will be ready to retire.
There are many financial decisions regarding taxes, savings, investments, and IRA accounts, besides pensions, 401-K plans, medicare and medicaid and so forth.
Where to retire is also a major decision for many people, as the property tax burden may be difficult to keep up with where you currently reside. Once your job has ended for good and you are retiring, another location may be better suited to your needs.
Relocating to a retirement community is one option many people are looking at, depending upon their age and their particular situation.
Other people may be looking at more independent living situations but with some advantages suited to the retired lifestyle.
Proper handling of your investments and making sure you will have enough money to support your desired lifestyle once you are retired, is a key part of planning for retirement. If the pieces are not in place, you may not have enough to live comfortably on, between your social security, pension and ira or other investments.
This website is meant to be informative at the least and to help guide you in the right direction, but by no means are we the last word on the subject.
Please consult a financial planner or expert retirement planning specialist if you want to make the most out of your planning for that inevitable stage of your life, as we do not take responsibility for your decisions and choices regarding retirement.

Fresh out of college in the mid 90′s with a job in software development, I was naive enough to allow a financial advisor to talk me into a variable adjustable life insurance policy. $700 per month I put into it for a 700,000 policy.
Fast forward 16 years. I know I made a mistake and should have just purchased term insurance (if any at all) and invested the difference. But…now I am married with a family (kids are 6 and 12). My wife and I both have good jobs. (My wife also got talked into a similar insurance plan as I did). I am still shelling out 700 a month for this insurance, and my wife is spending 600 a month for hers. My question: What is the prudent thing to do at this point, 16 years into making these payments? Do I stay with it, or does it make better sense to cash out and do what I should’ve done in the first place?
Thanks,
Rob
