It\u2019s important to remember that your spending habits may shift, not just shrink, once you leave the workforce. I always encourage my clients to map out a detailed budget that covers not only the basics\u2014like taxes, insurance, and healthcare\u2014but also hobbies, travel, those little everyday purchases, and unexpected repairs.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to claiming your retirement benefits, timing matters. Filing at 62 means smaller monthly payments, while waiting until 67 gets you the full amount. If you can hold off until age 70, your payments increase permanently\u2014which can be especially valuable if you\u2019re concerned about outliving your savings.<\/p>\n<p>I often recommend stress-testing your retirement income to see how it holds up against inflation and market downturns. Remember, benefits are inflation-adjusted, and keeping some stock exposure can help protect your spending power down the road.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, having a cash cushion to cover 1 to 3 years of expenses can prevent you from having to sell investments at the wrong time. And a lean backup budget gives you a plan for those &#039;just in case&#039; moments.<\/p>\n<p>As someone who\u2019s helped many Surrey families navigate these decisions, I believe a proactive, personalized approach is the key to financial peace of mind in retirement.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thinking about retiring in 2027?
