What will be your largest expense in retirement?

What will be the biggest risk that you’ll face in retirement?

For some, taxes could become their largest expense in retirement while the possibility of future tax rate increases could prove to be their greatest risk.

To further complicate matters retirement plan withdrawals, Social Security benefits and many other aspects of retirement are all interconnected and potentially impacted by taxes.

As long as a person uses legal methods to reduce taxes, spendable income in retirement can increase without increasing exposure to risk of investment losses.
