In the past, retirement planning was focused on reaching "the number" or what the value of our "nest egg" needed to be. For years, clients and advisers focused solely on their "account value" to gauge whether or not they're were going to ever retire. We were told that this "number" was different for every person. Well, the reality is that today, that "number" should no longer the sole focus for investors hoping and praying to retire. Rather the focus should be on "how much" will that number provide in income! Recreating a paycheck in retirement or funding the day to day needs for retirees has become more important that the journey to a specific "number." And this has everything to do with the realities that taxes, healthcare costs, low interest rates, volatile markets and tending to the needs of older parents and your own children have created havoc for any plans that we had to reach the retirement of our dreams. These realities bring into question many of the foundations that we created our retirement plans on - such things as 401(k)s, IRAs and Medicare. These plans were made before we knew about the benefits of Roth IRAs or the realities of means testing raising Medicare costs are demanding that retirement planning be focused on retirement income, not just the value of your "nest egg"!
