Here's a question I wish more people asked before retiring:

If you have $1,000,000 saved for retirement...

How much of it can you comfortably spend each month without constantly worrying about running out?

The account balance is only part of the equation.

You also have to consider Social Security, pensions, investment returns, market risk, inflation, taxes, RMDs and longevity.

That's why I believe retirement planning should focus on income—not simply account values.

Your investments need a job.

Some may be positioned for growth.
Some may provide liquidity.
Some may generate income.
And depending upon your circumstances, some may be positioned for protection.

If you're approaching retirement, ask yourself:

"Do I own a collection of investments—or do I actually have a retirement-income strategy?"

The closer you get to retirement, the more the investment question changes.

When you're 40, you may be primarily concerned with accumulating as much as possible.

At 60+, the questions can become very different:

→ How much risk should I be taking?
→ Where will my monthly income come from?
→ What happens if the market drops shortly after I retire?
→ How will withdrawals affect my portfolio?
→ Should some of my money be protected from market losses?

Retirement isn't simply about reaching a certain account balance.

It's about turning the money you've accumulated into a strategy designed to support the life you want to live.

If you're approaching retirement and haven't looked at your portfolio from that perspective, it may be worth getting a second opinion.
