Retirement Planning During Your Second Career

Later-life working

As retirement ages and life expectancies continue to rise, many individuals who have already had successful working lives are finding further fulfilment in later-life careers.

These subsequent careers are rarely simply about making money, in many cases they are about staying active, often in meaningful or creative roles that either offer benefit to society or a significant feeling of satisfaction.

However, these new careers bring with them new challenges and opportunities in relation to wealth management and retirement planning.

For example, in the case of many of the older women who are engaged in early stage entrepreneurship (according to the most recent Global Entrepreneurship Monitor, a study of entrepreneurship in the United States produced by Babson College, MA, 3% of women over the age of 65 engaged in early stage entrepreneurship in 2017***) it may be first time in their lives they have the opportunity to plan and earn independently.

Later-life wealth management

With later-life earning comes the need for wealth planning foresight and this is especially important for cross-border individuals who are likely to have a complex range of asset management and tax liability considerations to attend to as well as the organisation of their day-to-day cashflow.

Fortunately, by taking advice at every important stage of the journey, savers can ensure their plans reflect their realities, including those typical to a later life career.

Around Half of All Savers Face Retirement Income Shortfall

How you choose to manage your retirement savings is one of the biggest decisions you will ever make. Whatever retirement planning strategy you put in place will not only play a key part in your financial future, it may also decide the future of your spouse or partner as well as your beneficiaries and their dependents.

But this question is one that is too frequently overlooked. New data from the U.S. Federal Reserve’s Survey of Consumer Finances has revealed that around half of all working-age households believe they will be unable to enjoy their current level of lifestyle once they reach retirement.

This would indicate that there is a crisis brewing. Life expectancy is rising concurrently with the demise of the kinds of generous pension plans available in the late twentieth century and, in the absence of state-level solutions, it is now more important than ever before for retirement savers to act in order to stave off the possibility of financial hardship later in life.

These people are lucky; they have a choice. But what will happen if ill-health, family commitments or professional circumstances take retirement plans out of your hands. Not only can such a situation make you feel helpless, it can leave you facing a cashflow conundrum that has the potential to plague your sunset years with insecurity and uncertainty.
