One of the most important decisions you make in life occurs at the point in time you declare your retirement and replace your regular, steady income with income from your investment accounts to support your “Golden Years.” Sometimes the folks I work with think they have a retirement plan since they have an investment portfolio.

He earmarks accounts for income and earmarks accounts for growth. His plans, ensures that the money a retiree needs in the near term is safe and predictable, and not subject to the day-to-day market fluctuations, while at the same time positioning some of the assets to receive long-term market returns required to provide an increasing income stream throughout one’s entire lifetime.
