Cambridge Corner: Your Income
When you retire, your most immediate concern may be how you’ll pay all your living expenses without a steady paycheck. Having a clear idea of how much you spend each month on mortgage or rent, property taxes, insurance premiums, car costs, groceries, and utilities can help. Calculating your expenses will allow you to determine how much income you’ll need to cover them. Where will that income come from? Listing your anticipated income sources should be your next planning move. Social Security may account for some of it. Check your benefits statement or visit the Social Security website (www.ssa.gov) to estimate how much you’ll receive.
Call 888-900-4690 or click here for more information on how Cambridge Financial Partners can help you.
