Should You Retire Early and Keep Working Until Retirement Age?

[vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″ el_class=”section section1″][vc_column_text]Should people consider an early retirement plan?   Many people have dreams of leaving their jobs before retirement age, but taking early retirement can be a bad thing too. For one thing, retirees tend to suffer from both cognitive and physical decline due to a lack of activity. It could also lead to unhealthy actions that include smoking and drinking.

According to experts, studies have shown health problems increase for workers who qualify for retirement benefits and are alleviated when policies are introduced to encourage them to work.

Why It’s Better To Do A Lump Sum Pension Distribution

With more and more companies going from pension plans to defined contribution plans, it may be best for employees to go with a lump sum distribution instead of an annuity option. According to one expert, this may be a desirable action if they opt to work with an experienced CFP. Putting the lump sum into an IRA will maintain the tax-deferred status of the money and gives people flexibility in making withdrawals.

When a person owns the IRA, they have control over the account and its distributions.

A Costly Mistake People May Be Making

A quarter of 401(k) participants – 35 years old and younger – have gotten into their retirement accounts for the sole reason to pay off credit card debt. There are several reasons not to do this – missing out on the chance to earn more money and the 10 percent federal tax money for withdrawing the amount needed.

How People In Their 40s Can Save For Their Retirement

40-year-old and older clients are in a good position to save for their retirement, as they’re coming up on their peak earnings years. This allows them to pay debt down and contribute more to their retirement plans. They can save money in Roth or traditional IRA, decrease their risk exposure, have an array of investments, and get the best insurance coverage.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”36123″ img_size=”292×285″ style=”vc_box_shadow”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
