💡 Key 50s Retirement Strategies
- Redirect all freed funds after kids' independence to retirement
- Compare lump sum vs annuity for severance (tax implications)
- Downsize real estate for liquidity
- Review and strengthen health insurance
- Consider part-time work plans after 60
- Avoid overly aggressive investments (insufficient recovery time)
❓ FAQ
Consider delaying retirement (to 65), lowering lifestyle goals, downsizing property, and planning part-time work. Even 10 more years significantly grows assets.
Depends on your situation. Lump sum offers investment flexibility but higher taxes; annuity has tax benefits but less liquidity. Consult a professional.
The "100 minus age" rule suggests 40-50% stocks in your 50s. Adjust based on your risk tolerance.
