Bill Losey, America’s Retirement Strategist® and 401(k) rollover expert, publishes a new article explaining some of the major retirement planning mistakes that need to be avoided.

Saratoga Springs, NY. – September 10, 2012 – Sound retirement planning is one of the most important steps towards a fulfilling retirement. Bill Losey, author and retirement expert and advisor, recently wrote an article laying out some of the major mistakes that need to be avoided to get the most out of your retirement plan. In this article, found on his website http://www.BillLosey.com, titled “9 Major Retirement Planning Mistakes To Avoid”, Bill explains these mistakes and how they can cause some major setbacks with your retirement strategy.

“Much has been written about the classic financial mistakes that plague start-ups, family businesses, corporations and charities. Aside from these blunders, there are also some classic financial missteps that plague retirees,” writes Losey. “Calling them ‘mistakes’ may be a bit harsh, as not all of them represent errors in judgment. Yet whether they result from ignorance or fate, we need to be aware of them as we plan for and enter retirement.”

Some of mistakes that Bill Losey discusses include leaving work too early, underestimating medical expenses, withdrawing too much each year, and retiring with no plan or investment strategy, among others.

On retiring with no strategy, Bill remarks, “Many people do this – too many. An unplanned retirement may bring terrible financial surprises; retiring without an investment strategy leaves some people prone to market timing and day trading.”
