If you're turning 65 this year, here's what you need to know:
-
Retirement Decision: Consider whether to retire now or continue working. Assess your financial readiness, potential pensions, and how you'll spend your time.
-
Financial Planning: Ensure you have a solid plan to avoid outliving your savings. Take control of any stray 401(k)s and consider reducing risk in your investments. Fixed Index Annuities (FIAs) can provide safety and potential growth.
-
Medicare Enrollment: At 65, you become eligible for Medicare. Most will enroll unless covered by an employer. Understand the different parts of Medicare and consider additional coverage if needed.
-
Planning Ahead: Start planning early, regardless of your age. A clear financial strategy will help you feel confident about your retirement.
