Most private employers have already replaced traditional pensions, which promise lifetime income payments in retirement, with defined contribution plans such as 401(k)s. But 15% of private-sector workers and 75% of state and local government workers still participate in traditional pensions. Altogether, 35% of workers say they (and/or their spouse) have pension benefits with a current or former employer.
In my conversations with clients who are beginning to prepare for their transition into retirement, I ask them, “What would you like to do in retirement?”, and often they answer, “I’m not really sure” or “I haven’t really decided yet.” What’s interesting about those answers is that while they have worked for years preparing financially for a successful retirement, they have not considered the other aspects of retirement that, along with sound financial preparation, will truly make them happy in retirement.

When it comes to your finances, you might easily overlook some of the numbers that really count. Here are four to pay attention to now that might really matter in the future.
Deciding when to begin taking Social Security can be confusing and overwhelming especially when you consider that once the decision is made, it can be difficult to change and a 12-month time restriction applies. Determining the optimal time to begin taking benefits depends on several factors, including the amount of benefits available to you and your spouse (if married), life expectancy, the date of your retirement, and the availability of other assets and income sources, such as 401(k)s, individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and retirement savings plans, that can be tapped during non-working years.
You’ve been saving diligently for years, and now it’s time to think about how to convert the money in your traditional 401(k)s (or similar workplace savings plans) into retirement income. But hold on, not so fast. You may need to take a few steps first.
