Finding your retirement age
Deciding when to
retire might be one of the biggest decisions you ever make. I want to share
with you factors to consider whether you are retiring soon or down the road.
How much have you saved? Many of us count on Social Security benefits for our
retirement income. So, maximizing the benefits you have coming is important.
You also have to look at 401(k) accounts, IRA’s and any other retirement
savings you have, and will there be enough to carry you all the way through
your retirement. Having an account that offers lifetime income might be a good
fit for you. Next you should consider
your health and the cost of health care too. There are benefits to working
longer if you can, but as you decide “when” to retire your health is crucial to
that decision. And finally, what are your goals in retirement? Don’t overlook
this consideration and just pick a date to retire. Many people want to travel
just keep in mind travel costs money. Having a plan and finding a way to reach
your goals is the difference between a so-so retirement and an awesome one.

Social Security paper statements
There has been another change regarding Social Security paper
statements. These statements detail information on your
earnings, your estimated benefits, and the contributions you've paid in payroll taxes.
Back in 2011, the agency stopped mailing its annual paper statements to save on costs. The following year, Social Security started the web site "My Social Security account" to get all your information on-line.
In September 2014, the agency started sending paper statements to
workers who weren’t receiving benefits and who hadn’t signed up for an online account. These individuals were getting their paper
documents as they turned 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60 and over.
So, here’s the new change, only individuals who are 60 and over, who aren't receiving benefits and who don't have a "My Social Security account" online will get paper statements.
This measure will reduce the cost of processing and mailing statements by $11.3 million in the 2017 fiscal year.
