Retirement Problems

Several potential retirement problems are faced by retirees:

1. Is my pension secure?
2. Will Social Security be there for my retirement?
3. What will my retirement costs be?
4. How will early retirement affect how comfortable my retirement will be?
5. How much money can I withdrawal from my retirement account each year?
6. What will my retirement outcome be if I stay with the plan I have made?
7. Will my money last throughout my entire retirement?
8. What can I do to keep myself informed of the latest retirement issues?

1) Pensions used to be a secure source of retirement income.  Unfortunately, that is no longer the case.  Several major companies in the steel and airline industries have already defaulted on their pension plans.  There is speculation that the next major industry to default on their pension plans will be the automotive industry, including both automotive manufactures and automotive suppliers alike.

2) Assuming that Social Security is secure, from the U.S. government's own web site, "...Under current law, if you have average earnings, your Social Security retirement benefits will replace only about 40 percent, so you'll need to supplement your benefits with a pension, savings or investments."   

3) Most financial experts say you need at least 75 percent of your pre-retirement income in retirement to live comfortably in retirement.
