2 Strategies for Creating Retirement Income 💸 - Creating Retirement Income Streams
Creating retirement income streams is something that every individual or family going into retirement wants to understand. It's the question of how am I going to get retirement income and where is that retirement income going to come from?
Will my retirement income come from retirement investments? Social Security? Pensions? Other retirement assets?
In my retirement planning process, there are two retirement income strategies that are most used when planning out retirement income. The first is the bucket retirement income approach. The second is the Total Return Retirement Income approach.
Both of these retirement income strategies can be used when planning out your retirement income AND they can both be intertwined within your retirement income strategy and retirement plan.
Let's look at the bucket retirement income strategy first.
Bucket retirement income strategy is just like it sounds, you bucket your retirement income. When you use the bucket retirement income strategy you separate your retirement income into buckets that align with time horizon, risk management, and amount of retirement income needed.
In my practice we use 3 distinct retirement income buckets: Safe retirement income, moderate to medium term retirement income, and growth retirement income.
Safe retirement income is your short term or immediate retirement income need. Moderate or medium term retirement income is retirement income that you will need 7-10 years from today. And finally, the growth retirement income bucket is used for retirement income 10 plus years from today and is invested more for growth in the stock market.
The second retirement income strategy is the total return retirement income approach. In this retirement income approach, assets are invested with a focus on diversification for varied purposes but all within the same retirement portfolio.
Instead of splitting retirement income into buckets, this approach looks at the total retirement investments and diversifies based on how much income you need today PLUS inflation throughout retirement.
Retirement income strategies and retirement income planning are two big pieces to anyones retirement planning calculator. Whether you are wanting to know strategies for "retirement planning at 30", "retirement planning at 40", "retirement planning at 50", or even "retirement planning at 60" understanding how much retirement income that you want versus how much you need gives you a roadmap to follow to and through retirement.
