Retirement Expert Bill Losey Discusses Calculating How Much Retirement Income You Need

Bill Losey, America’s Retirement Strategist® and 401(k) rollover expert, publishes a new blog on the process of determining how much retirement income one needs to retire comfortably.

Saratoga Springs, NY. – March 8, 2012 – Bill Losey, author and retirement expert and advisor, recently wrote a blog urging readers to carefully plan how much retirement income they will need match their lifestyle needs and goals. With this blog, found on his website http://www.BillLosey.com, titled “How Much Retirement Income Will You REALLY Need?” Bill touches on five important factors that can affect retirement income needs, including health, heredity, portfolio, spending habits and social security.

On spending habits Bill writes, “Do you only spend 70% of your salary? Probably not. If you’re like many Americans, you may spend as much as 90% or 95% of it. Will your spending habits change drastically once you retire? Again, probably not. Most people only change spending habits in response to economic necessity or in pursuit of new financial goals. People don’t want to ‘live on less’ once they have had ‘more’.”

On the subject of social security Bill remarks, “Will Social Security even exist by the time you’ve retired? A study from the Government Accounting Office brings this into sharp focus, stating that the long-lived program may start to run out of money by 2036 and may be broke by the end of that decade. Furthermore, the GAO suggests a 20% cut in benefits, due to increased longevity and lower employment. Even if SSI is still a going concern in 2040, it may be very slim pickings.”
