5. RETIREMENT REDEFINED
In this first section, we’ll address some basic retirement factors. We’ll look at the changing landscape of retirement as people are living longer than before. This means you’ll spend more time in retirement and will need to plan ahead for inflation to have enough income to last your entire lifetime.
But don’t forget that deciding to retire is not just a financial decision. It is also an emotional decision:
How will you handle not working full time?
If married, will you be home with your spouse all day?
What will you spend your time doing?
What will your week look like? Any activities or ways you can get involved in the community?
Will you move?
Etc.

7. PLANNING OVERVIEW
Here we will discuss a broad overview of things that are in your control, out of your control and things you have partial control over. We want you to walk away knowing the things that you can change yourself vs. things that are uncontrollable.

14. COMPONENTS OF RETIREMENT PLANNING

20. IN YOUR CONTROL – ASSET ALLOCATION
The next area that is in your control is Asset Allocation within your retirement account. Often people think that Asset Allocation is the most important part of your retirement plan. But really, saving is the most important, then Asset Allocation. Proper diversification will be affected by three factors: time horizon until you want to start taking dollars from your account, your tolerance for risk, and your specific retirement goals (what kind of retirement you are trying to fund).
Let’s talk about the three main investment approaches with GuideStone. Please look at the handout that is titled “Choose Your Funds”.
