With this blog, found on his website <a href=\"https:\/\/www.BillLosey.com\">https:\/\/www.BillLosey.com<\/a>, titled <a href=\"https:\/\/billlosey.com\/blog\/how-much-retirement-income-will-you-really-need-2.php\">\u201cHow Much Retirement Income Will You REALLY Need?\u201d<\/a> Bill touches on five important factors that can affect retirement income needs, including health, heredity, portfolio, spending habits and social security.<\/p>\n<p>On spending habits Bill writes, \u201cDo you only spend 70% of your salary? Probably not. If you\u2019re like many Americans, you may spend as much as 90% or 95% of it. Will your spending habits change drastically once you retire? Again, probably not. Most people only change spending habits in response to economic necessity or in pursuit of new financial goals. People don\u2019t want to \u2018live on less\u2019 once they have had \u2018more\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On the subject of social security Bill remarks, \u201cWill Social Security even exist by the time you\u2019ve retired? A study from the Government Accounting Office brings this into sharp focus, stating that the long-lived program may start to run out of money by 2036 and may be broke by the end of that decade. Furthermore, the GAO suggests a 20% cut in benefits, due to increased longevity and lower employment. Even if SSI is still a going concern in 2040, it may be very slim pickings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To read the entire blog, please visit <a href=\"https:\/\/billlosey.com\/blog\/how-much-retirement-income-will-you-really-need-2.php\">https:\/\/billlosey.com\/blog\/how-much-retirement-income-will-you-really-need-2.php<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Bill Losey launched his business seven years ago with one goal in mind \u2013 to offer advice and solutions to those planning for retirement.\u00a0 This latest article is one of many helpful articles that Bill writes frequently to make planning for retirement seem less daunting and more achievable.<\/p>\n<p>He is a nationally known and respected retirement expert, specializing in 401k rollover advice, self-directed IRA rollovers, 401k direct rollovers, and many other investment and retirement strategies.\u00a0 Bill\u2019s company, Bill Losey Retirement Solutions, LLC, is an independent registered investment advisory firm that caters primarily to\u00a0couples as well as divorced and widowed women <em>nationwide<\/em> (age 50-70) who demand objective financial and retirement advice; customized, fee-only\u00a0investment management; attention to detail; and impeccable service.<\/p>\n<p>Other recent blogs written by Bill Losey include <a href=\"https:\/\/billlosey.com\/blog\/the-facebook-frenzy-is-building-should-you-care.php\">&#8220;The Facebook Frenzy Is Building.
