Investing While in Retirement, Part 2
Previously on the blog, we discussed how inflation and cost of living changes can affect how far your money can stretch during retirement. We also noted how continuing to make smart investments after you retire can help combat the effect that inflation has on your money. There are also other reasons that it is important to invest after you retire.
Retirement planning involves looking at the big picture with your money. You have to ask yourself what standard of living you want, what is achievable, and what inheritance you want to leave to your family. While you may be able to use your retirement portfolio to pay for all your expenses during retirement, that may be where your money ends. In fact, maybe that’s even pushing it a little bit. You’re an individual who thinks about your family as well and you want to leave money for your children. If you stop investing once you put your retirement plan into action the day you retire, you’re going to miss out on a lot of opportunities for your money to grow.
