Assets or Income: The Real Key to Your Retirement Success

For most of our adult lives, we are given the impression that we need to build up a large stash of assets so that we can attain financial security in the future.

But, while this advice is partially on par, the reality is that many people who have a massive amount of assets are actually some of the most unhappy, and stressed out, individuals on the planet.

Take, for instance, anyone who held a large portfolio of real estate during the most recent recession. I can tell you with 100% certainty, these folks were not very happy – nor were they quite as financially prepared for the future as they originally thought. Rather, they spent a majority of their time just trying to get back to square one.

All the Assets in the World Won’t Matter Unless You Have This

It’s a good bet that at some point, you’ve watched, read, and/or heard financial “gurus” discussing the importance of building up your retirement savings so that you can reach your ideal “number.”

Huh?

Sure, setting money aside for your future security is an essential piece of the retirement planning pie. But here’s the catch: unless you are able to convert those assets into an ongoing and guaranteed future income stream, you take on the risk of running out of money down the road.

In fact, there are any number of potential risks that could knock your future retirement income stream off track – including a stock market “correction” (or even a minor hiccup), inflation, and/or the order in which you receive your investment returns. So, relying only on assets could actually be a danger to your ultimate financial security retirement.

Should I Buy an Annuity Or Is There a Better Retirement Income Strategy for Me?

If you’ve been in the midst of researching retirement income products, then undoubtedly annuities have come across your radar. There are a number of positive features associated with annuities that can make them very attractive products.

But whether or not you should buy an annuity doesn’t depend on the product itself – even if it offers a long list of enticing bells and whistles. Rather, whether or not you should buy an annuity really depends on why you are considering it in the first place.
