Retirement Planning

Back to Our Services: Overview

Retirement: The way it was

  • Collected a pension from the company where you worked for 40 years
  • Received a check from Social Security to supplement monthly income
  • Former employer and Medicare covered costs of health care

Retirement: The way it is (due to advances in health care, retirees are living longer)

  • Drawing monthly income from IRAs and 401(k) plans (which replaced pension plans and do not guarantee a stream of income)
  • Many work part time as long as they are able to supplement income
  • Health care costs are covered in part by Medicare and former employer, the rest comes out of pocket
