Something More With Chris Boyd Show Podcasts

Scott Birmingham, CFP®, AMR’s Lead Financial Planner shares some of the things to consider if you are planning to retire early:       - You may not be eligible for Social Security, penalty-free IRA distributions, or Medicare.        - Typically, people have the bulk of their investments in retirement plans and therefore cashflow can be challenging when retiring early.      - If you retire early risk (are working fewer years) will you have enough money to cover your expenses?      - Another consideration is healthcare insurance. Pre-Medicare health insurance can be expensive.  Through the Internal Revenue Service 72T program (Substantial Periodic Payments) you can withdrawal from retirement accounts and avoid the 10% penalty. There are several restrictions, however, with this approach. If you need help with your retirement plan, reach out to Asset Management Resources at (866) 771-8901  if we can help.
