Retirement Planning - Assess Your Financial
Situation
First of all, make an inventory of all your
current assets, liabilities, incomes and
expenses. You can sit with your retirement
planner and make an estimate of what your
responsibilities and expenses would be. When
you've retired, some expenses may stay the same,
like groceries and insurance, and others.

Calculate the Value of Your Assets and Liabilities

• Write down the current amount in each of your
  account where you keep cash and liquid savings.
  These include checking, savings and money market
  accounts and certificates of deposits.
• If you have saving bonds, then calculate and
  determine the current value or call the bank to
  find out the current value.
• Call your agent and find out the cost of your
  whole life policy also.
• Invested in stocks, bonds or mutual funds, then
  check the value on financial websites or from
  your last statement.
• Use the current value of your house and other
  real states.
• List all the current and over-due bills you owe.
  These include utility bills, doctors, dentists,
  telephone, water, gas, property tax, etc.

Know What You Want
We all want so much that we confuse ourselves
with so many things. Make up the list of the
things you think must be in your lifestyle after
your retirement. Consider everything that may
even seem small to you so that you would be
prepared for it. Are you aware of how much money
would you need to retire and live comfortably?

Cash Flow Planning
Present value is significant for your retirement
planning. It is the amount of money you need in
your account today to plan and save for your
future. Many people work with their financial
advisors or their retirement planners and make
individual retirement accounts to prepare for
their retirement. You can do so while planning
before and after retirement.
6
Invest or Save
It's entirely okay if you start late as well. The
key to expecting success has a positive outlook
and understanding that being late is better than
never starting! If you are over 55 years of age,
the government offers savings on the catch -up
contributions so you can get help to save a
little bit more. Sometimes, the chances are that
savings account and employee pensions are not
enough to reach your goals. That's when you
explore investment products.
