What is retirement planning?

Retirement planning starts with a simple question: what do you want your days to look like? From there, a plan estimates the income you'll need and compares it with your savings, Social Security, and any pensions.

Good planning also covers the less obvious risks: living longer than expected, rising healthcare costs, inflation, and the order in which you draw from different accounts.

As early as possible, but it's most valuable in the 10 to 15 years before retirement when decisions have a large impact.

It depends on your savings, expected spending, and income sources. A projection can show what an earlier date would require.

There are trade-offs involving fees, investment choices, and protections. Compare options before moving money.
