News sources have stated that Social Security benefits are declining and may not be a stable enough source of retirement income in years to come. It is estimated that Social Security will be providing less in the future relative to pre-retirement earnings, than it has in the past. In addition, a recent study by Fidelity Investments revealed that a typical couple could expect to spend $250,000 during their retirement, solely on medical expenses, and not including nursing-home care.

To guarantee an income during retirement, advanced income planning is the best way individuals can adequately meet their financial needs during their golden years. By implementing an income plan upon retirement, one can be assured of an income source that cannot be outlived.
