By Texas Financial | November 29, 2018

What if your expenses actually increase after you retire?

It’s a fairly common belief that your monthly expenses will decrease after you retire, but what if they increase? There are a number of reasons that even the Social Security Administration notes that “Most financial advisors say you’ll need about 70 percent of your pre-retirement earnings to comfortably maintain your pre-retirement standard of living.” Any expensesRead More

How to Help a Millennial with Their Retirement

Each generation faces its own challenges when it comes to saving and providing for retirement. If you’re a Baby Boomer, and at or near your retirement years, you likely had never heard of a 401(k) when you began your career, since they didn’t even exist before 1980, and were not offered by many employers untilRead More

Which Millennials are failing to save for retirement?

For a variety of reasons, people have been saying that younger adults (Millennials, specifically) aren’t saving enough for their retirement.

How long will you live in your retirement years?

When should I start receiving my Social Security benefits?

By Texas Financial | July 21, 2018

When should I start receiving my Social Security benefits?

The amount you can expect to receive from Social Security varies quite a bit.

For many people, it will actually beRead More

Everyone is working longer before retirement – particularly women

Men and women are different, in case you weren’t aware. And not just physically – the differences extend into many aspects of life, including retirement.

Can I live on my Social Security when I retire?

By Texas Financial | July 19, 2018

Can I live on my Social Security when I retire?

No, you probably cannot. Social Security is not designed to replace your full working wages. It’s intended to cover only approximately 40 percent of the income you earned while working. You may not need to fully replace your working years’ income during retirement, however. The Social Security Administration notes that many financial advisors suggest you’llRead More

What Happens To My 401(k) Or 403(b) When My Employer Changes?

When you leave an employer, or your employer is bought or merges with another company – or goes out of business, you typically need to decide what to do with your old 401(k) or 403(b) retirement account. That’s not terribly uncommon. Recently, right here in East Texas, we have seen major changes within the medicalRead More

Are you overdue for a Financial Stress Test?

Speaking of a physical stress test, the Mayo Clinic says “A stress test, also called an exercise stress test, shows how your heart works during physical activity.

How soon do I need to start saving for retirement?

By Texas Financial | April 30, 2018

How soon do I need to start saving for retirement?

Retirement today is very different than it was half a century ago. In the past, many received pensions from their lifelong employers after they retired. Combining that pension with Social Security and the confidence that their largest purchase (a house) would certainly be worth more every year helped create a stable retirement. Now, pensions areRead More
