RETIREMENT:  Five financial planning tips
An interview with Selwyn Wener, Financial Planning consultant - Silicon Valley, United States

Tip #1:  The killer of any financial plan is delaying the implementation.
Or not getting around to doing something about it. Just do it! Now!


Tip #2:  Ignoring the possibility of the timing of risk as one nears retirement.  
A sudden drop in market value a few years before or after retirement will impact running out of income too soon.  Implement a program of guaranteed income for life as a supplement to your portfolio.  Annuities are a recommended option.


Tip #3:  Concentrating your portfolio in a few stocks or sectors.  
Diversification will reduce volatility and drives performance over time.  No single asset class (Bonds Equities) continues to outperform.  A portfolio covering a wide spectrum should perform best over the long term with less volatility.  Overweighting or underweighting certain sectors at times through active management is a good strategy.

Tip #4:  Neglecting to review insurance policies.  
Costs and mortality rates have improved resulting in lower rates for term insurance and improved guarantees.  New circumstances and family changes may require a change in coverage.


Tip #5:  Neglecting the possibility of increasing medical expenses in later life.
Government programs provide very little benefit for long term care situations which are expensive.  Unless you qualify for benefits under MEDICAL or MEDICARE, you should consider long term care insurance while you have good health and the premium is affordable.
