Hi! I’m Chase Hall a Financial Consultant with SouthState Investment Services.
Many of our clients ask how they can build a brighter future through retirement planning.
Building a comprehensive retirement plan takes patience & diligence. The key is to take the planning steps today that will help you have confidence when it comes to the future. Here are a few things you can do to make sure your plan is on-track.
First, sit down with a financial consultant to assess your financial situation & determine if your investments are aligned with your goals. It may have been several years since you first crunched the numbers & arrived at the amount you’ll need to save for retirement. Determine if your savings are still on track or if you need to make any adjustments.
Next, make sure you incorporate any lifestyle changes into your plan. Are your beneficiaries still up to date? Do you have dreams to travel or pay for a child or grandchild’s education? It’s important to modify your plan as your goals change.
It’s also important to manage market & inflation risk & the impact it can have on your investments. That doesn’t mean replacing everything with less risky assets, but it does mean reviewing your investments to make sure they align with your risk tolerance & making appropriate changes as needed.
Finally, periodically check in on your plan & review your goals with a financial professional. Having someone review your plan can help you identify any challenges you haven’t addressed, like life insurance or long-term care needs.
