When it comes to retirement planning, there are five basic steps: income planning, expense management, investment management, healthcare and long-term care planning, and estate planning. Income planning involves creating a strategy to bring in a steady stream of income after retirement, which may include Social Security, pensions, and investment withdrawals. Expense management focuses on managing daily living expenses, healthcare costs, and discretionary spending. Investment management is important for growing and preserving retirement funds, and may involve working with professionals to ensure the right risk management and growth strategies. Healthcare and long-term care planning are crucial for addressing potential medical expenses and ensuring financial security. Estate planning involves creating legal documents, updating beneficiaries, and designating power of attorney to protect assets and ensure smooth transitions.  They also address listener questions about opening an IRA account, choosing between cost-of-living adjustments and one-time payouts, and cashing out an IRA to buy investment property. The conversation concludes with a reminder to schedule a consultation for a personalized retirement plan.
