There is nothing generally inherent in any given year that says it’s a bad or good time to retire. The question that needs to be answered is whether you’re ready financially and emotionally. So, how do you determine if you are ready? Begin by asking yourself if you have estimated your stream of lifetime retirement income from all sources, and if it is enough to cover the regular living expenses you expect to be paying for the rest of your life. For most, this will be the most critical component of knowing if you are ready to retire. Call us if you have done this and find that your income is coming up short.
