You spend years saving money for retirement. But that's
only half the equation when it comes to your future
financial security. How you position your assets in
order to take retirement income plays an equally
important role — especially when you consider that:
|
|
We're living longer. People ages 100 and older are
the fastest-growing segment of the U.S. population,
according to the New England Centenarian
Study, 2004. This makes it challenging to figure out
how much retirement income will be enough. |
| |
|
Inflation may slow down,
but it doesn't stop. Over
the last 20 years, it's averaged 3.17%, according to
Ibbotson Associates Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Morningstar, Inc., 2002.
|
| |
|
The future of Social Security and its guarantee of
lifetime income is uncertain.
|
| |
Running out of money in retirement can be a very real
concern. Fortunately, if you own a variable annuity, you
have options. One is called annuitization — a stream of
retirement income payouts that includes a fixed income
option you cannot outlive.
