SafeMoneyLady.org Launches No-Cost “Income Gap Analysis” for Retirement Income Planning

Most people spend years thinking about how much money they can accumulate for retirement.

Far fewer stop to calculate something equally important:

Will the income coming in every month actually cover the life I plan to live?

That is the question behind the new no-cost Income Gap Analysis from SafeMoneyLady.org.

Retirement planning is often presented as a savings problem. People look at their 401(k), IRA, investment accounts, Social Security benefits, pensions, real estate, and other assets and try to determine whether they have accumulated “enough.”

The problem is that a large account balance does not automatically translate into dependable retirement income.

Once a paycheck stops, the financial equation changes.

Mortgage or housing expenses continue. Property taxes continue. Insurance premiums, utilities, groceries, transportation, travel, healthcare, and everyday living expenses continue. Inflation can gradually increase many of those costs as retirement progresses.

Meanwhile, retirees have to determine where the money to pay those expenses will come from month after month and potentially for decades.

That is where an Income Gap Analysis becomes valuable.

The analysis begins by looking at the income you expect to receive during retirement from sources such as Social Security, pensions, rental income, existing annuities, and other dependable income streams.

That number can then be compared with the amount of monthly income required to support your anticipated retirement lifestyle.

The difference between those two numbers is your retirement income gap.

For example, imagine someone expects to receive $4,500 per month from Social Security and other dependable income sources but anticipates needing approximately $7,000 per month to maintain the lifestyle they want.

There is a $2,500 monthly income gap.

Identifying that gap does not automatically mean there is a problem.

It means there is now a number that can be planned around.

And that is considerably more useful than simply hoping a retirement portfolio will last.

Once the gap has been identified, different strategies can be evaluated for generating the additional income. Depending upon someone’s individual circumstances, that could involve retirement savings, investment income, insurance and annuity strategies, real estate income, changes in retirement timing, or a combination of several approaches.

There is no single retirement strategy that makes sense for everyone.

Someone retiring at 62 with significant savings and no pension faces a different situation than someone retiring at 70 with Social Security, pension income, rental properties, and a smaller investment portfolio.

The objective of the Income Gap Analysis is not to start with a financial product.

It is to start with the numbers.

How much income is expected?

How much income will likely be required?

Where is the difference?

And what options are available for addressing it?

Those questions become increasingly important because retirement is not simply about reaching a particular age or accumulating a particular dollar amount.

It is about creating enough dependable income to continue paying for your life after your employment income disappears.

SafeMoneyLady.org is now offering the Income Gap Analysis at no cost to individuals and couples who want a clearer picture of their retirement income situation.

If retirement is approaching—or if you are already retired and wondering whether your current income strategy is sustainable—this analysis can provide a useful starting point.

You spent decades earning and accumulating your money.

Now it is time to determine how that money will produce the income you expect to live on.
