We’ve all had those days. Those mornings over the course of our careers when getting out of bed and going to work was the last thing we wanted to do, but you did. You worked hard for decades and you’ve finally done it. You reached the point where you’re ready to retire. That first Monday when you sleep in as late as you want…There are few moments as glorious.

This is the point where many retirees face one of the hardest aspects of being retired: switching gears (mentally) from amassing wealth to supporting yourself with it. This transition from accumulation to distribution sounds obvious, but you might be surprised by how strange it feels. You spent your entire adult life earning a paycheck and always adding to your retirement savings, your nest egg. Now your nest egg is as large as it is ever going to be and you need to be strategic about how you spend against it. Then you realize it: Your savings are finite now.

When this finally sinks in, unless you’re Warren Buffet, you might feel butterflies. You may find yourself staring at the ceiling at night, thinking about the question that all retirees stress over. “Am I going to outlive my savings?” You’re supposed to be enjoying life to the fullest, not losing sleep with this uncertainty hanging over you. It’s ironic because technically, at this point in time you are the richest you ever have been or will be again, yet instead of confidence, you might feel vulnerable if you do not know how long your nest egg will last.

When we have questions about our health, we wouldn’t hesitate to ask a professional doctor for advice. Sure, we could do it alone, but we might not be maximizing our longevity. That’s irrational when the alternative was as quick and simple as taking the time to ask the experts in their field for a checkup and a long-term plan. The same is true for your financial position. In order to make your money last as long as possible and achieve the goal of leaving behind a certain amount for your loved ones, you need a financial review and a long-term plan.

Unfortunately, some retirees will be hesitant to visit their doctor when they should and as a result, are taking unnecessary risks. In terms of savings, if you want the best shot at being as successful as possible in retirement, you need to avoid that hesitation and seek professional financial advice. The only thing you have to lose is potential income, so do what hundreds of families already have…
