Have you ever asked yourself “Do I have enough money to retire?”
With rock-bottom interest rates and fears of inflation, retirees may worry about their cash reserves and how much they need to have handy. Retirees may consider a buffer for living expenses to avoid selling their investments in a down market. But the exact amount depends on a retiree’s monthly expenses, income and more, financial experts say.
Click here to see what our very own expert, Larry Heller, CFP®, had to say to CNBC reporter, Kate Dore, about this topic!
From the article: “Research shows how long certain allocations may need to recover after stock market corrections, said Larry Heller, a Melville, New York-based CFP and president of Heller Wealth Management.
For example, a portfolio with 50% stocks and 50% bonds may take 39 months to recover in a worst-case scenario, according to research from FinaMetrica. That’s why Heller may suggest holding 24 months to 36 months in cash.”
