5 wealth management strategies to put in place 10 years before retiring

1. Identify key goals — Since financial needs can greatly vary based on individual goals, it’s important to know what your goals are. Be sure to create a budget that fits your goals when planning for retirement.
2. Determine sources of income — In addition to savings for retirement, you should also make sure that you have supplemental sources of income. Once you determine these additional sources of income, it’s important to factor them into your budgeting. You shouldn’t rely on your savings as your only source of income.
3. Analyze your tolerance for risk — Knowing your risk tolerance is an integral step in retirement planning. Maintaining a diverse portfolio is key to increasing your tolerance for risk.
4. Face your shortcomings — After completing the previous strategies, you should be ready to confront any shortcomings that may have surfaced. Will your retirement assets surpass your goal? If not, it may be a good idea to reassess your plan of action.
5. Consult a wealth management advisor — One of the most important strategies for managing your wealth before retiring is consulting with an advisor. These professionals are experienced in handling wealth so that you can meet your retirement goals.

Each of these approaches can bring you closer to accomplishing your financial objectives before retirement, but the best way to prepare for retirement is to meet with a wealth management advisor.
