11. Ten Key Questions You Need to Answer
ā¢ How long could I (we) live? ā¢ Where do I (we) want to
live?
ā¢ How much money do I
(we) need? ā¢ What do I (we) want to do?
ā¢ What is my (our) projected ā¢ Where will I (we) get health
income and expenses? insurance and how much will
it cost?
ā¢ Where and how should I
(we) invest? ā¢ What can I do to make up
for lost time and/or money?
ā¢ How long will my (our)
money last? ā¢ What steps should I (we)
take between now and

12. How Long Could I (We) Live?
ā¢ BIG financial question
ā Live too long and you risk running out of money
ā Die young and āyou canāt take it with youā
ā¢ Medical advances are keeping more people alive longer
ā¢ CDC Data, 2000 to 2007:
ā Death rate from heart disease decreased 19%
ā Death rate from cancer decreased 5%
ā¢ BUTā¦unchecked obesity, diabetes taking away some gains
ā¢ 2005 Society of Actuaries study
ā 2/3 of retirees underestimate average life expectancy
ā 42% by 5+ years
ā¢ Why do we underestimate longevity? āFamiliarity Biasā
ā We know more 30-69 year olds who die than 70-100 year olds
13. Life Expectancy Reality Check
ā¢ Enter āLife Expectancy Calculatorā into an Internet search
engine (e.g., Bing, Google)
ā¢ Try at least 3 different calculators
ā¢ Look for calculators with questions about lifestyle factors
ā¢ Social Security calculator is very basic; based on averages
14. How Much Money Do I (We) Need?
ā¢ āIt dependsā (many variables)
ā¢ Compare some retirement savings calculations:
ā http://www.choosetosave.org/ballpark/ (ASEC Ballpark
Estimate)
ā http://njaes.rutgers.edu/pubs/publication.asp?pid=FS431
(Rutgers)
ā¢ General Guideline: For every $1,000 in monthly income,
you need $300,000 in savings ($300,000 x .04 (4%) =
12,000 Ć· 12 = $1,000) based on 4% withdrawal rate
ā $2,000/month ā $600,000
ā $3,000/month ā $900,000
ā $4,000/month ā $1.2 million
15. What is My (Our) Projected Income?
Five possible sources for most people:
ā¢ Social Security (get an online benefit estimate)
ā¢ Pensions
ā¢ Retirement savings plans and investments
ā 401(k), 403(b), 457 plans
ā IRAs
ā Annuities
ā Taxable and tax-free investment accounts
ā¢ Income generated by home equity
ā Reverse mortgage
ā Rent
ā¢ Employment
16. What are My (Our) Projected Expenses?
ā¢ 75% of average U.S. retireeās budget in order starting
with the highest amount
ā Housing
ā Transportation
ā Food
ā Medical
ā Entertainment
ā¢ Try to pay off mortgage and credit cards before retiring
ā¢ Percentages (e.g., 75% of income) may not be accurate
ā¢ Much better to do a current and projected spending plan
ā http://njaes.rutgers.edu/money/pdfs/fs421worksheet.pdf
ā¢ Do a ātest-driveā: Consider trying to live on pre-
retirement income BEFORE you retire
17. Where and How Should I (We) Invest?
ā¢ Invest a much as you can in a Roth or traditional IRA and
tax-deferred employer plan (e.g. 401(k) plan)
ā¢ Earmark a portion of raises for retirement savings
ā¢ Make catch-up contributions starting at age 50
ā¢ Maintain some equities in your portfolio to hedge inflation
ā¢ Assess your TRUE investment risk tolerance
ā http://njaes.rutgers.edu/money/riskquiz/
ā¢ Reduce your risk level if youāve accumulated the principal
you need to produce an adequate income stream
18. More Thoughts on Investing
ā¢ You could have a 30-40 year time horizon
ā¢ Diversify your portfolio: different asset classes
ā¢ Common guideline: 110- Your Age = % in stocks
ā 110 ā 65 = 55% (moderate risk tolerance)
ā¢ Consider consolidating accounts (RMDs start at 70Ā½)
ā¢ Consider dividend-paying stocks and mutual funds
ā¢ Consider low-cost annuities for a guaranteed stream of income
(especially without a pension)
ā¢ Track your net worth and asset allocation annually
ā¢ RCE Excel spreadsheets:
ā http://njaes.rutgers.edu/money/default.asp#resources
19. How Long Will My (Our) Money Last?
ā¢ āIt dependsā on two key factors:
ā Rate of return earned on retirement savings
ā Percentage of portfolio assets withdrawn
ā¢ Nest egg will be depleted faster ifā¦
ā The rate of withdrawal exceeds the rate of return
ā¢ Worst case scenario: Retiring during a severe market
downturn and selling stocks/funds for income
ā Nest egg is severely eroded by market losses
ā Withdrawals deplete it further
ā Should have a 3-5 year cash withdrawal cushion to avoid this
20. Get a Monte-Carlo Analysis
ā¢ Uses historical investment performance data to estimate
probability of not running out of money
ā¢ A CFPĀ® can do it for you or you can use an online
calculator (Search āMonte Carlo Calculatorā)
ā¢ Check assumptions and beware of GIGO

MORE on health care than those with poor health:
ā More years of medical expenses (e.g., age 93 versus 73)
ā Likelihood of a chronic condition in advanced old age
