Regarding the Retirement Cliff:
Perhaps the most surprising thing about the entire notion of retirement in America today is how little anybody seems to know about financial well-being in retirement.
Didn’t they teach this stuff in school? Apparently not.
Plain and simple, for many Americans today, financial planning for retirement requires improvement.
Many Americans today attribute their inaction directly to a lack of time, believing that the pace of society makes it harder for them to think about retirement and stick to long-term goals. And, believing they are too busy to think about long-term goals, may be one reason why half of all Americans have no financial plan in place for retirement.
The retirement cliff is an unsettling reality facing millions and it demands that people prepare for retirement in a complete different way.
This is especially true for those in the retirement “Red Zone,” which is a 10-year period beginning five years before you retire and ending five years into retirement. This 10-year red zone is so important because the decisions you make during this period regarding your retirement might be the most critical decisions you’ll ever make.
