Are You Ready for Unexpected Retirement Costs?

MusingsNo one likes to live with uncertainty, but many Boomers cannot be certain their retirement will be smooth and uneventful. Other than health, the largest concern of Boomers is whether they will have enough money to retire. It's one thing to know what your anticipated expenses will be in retirement -- but what about those costs you didn't expect?

In an article posted on NextAvenue.org, Alaina Tweddale details six specific unexpected retirement costs that should be on your radar screen. Some may be more obvious, such as emergencies, but others, including market volatility, ongoing maintenance, and underlying investment fees, could catch you by surprise. Alaina discusses all six, with helpful detail about each.

This article is definitely worth reading.

By the way, NextAvenue.org is an excellent PBS-sponsored source of valuable information for Boomers. I highly recommend it.
