Still, too few take advantage<br \/>\nof a plan&#8217;s unique benefits, say retirement<br \/>\nplanning professionals.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The population as a whole has not saved<br \/>\nenough at this point,&#8221; said Glen Larkin, an<br \/>\ninvestment officer and financial planner for<br \/>\nAdirondack Trust Co.&#8217;s Trust Department.<\/p>\n<p>Even for those fortunate enough to have<br \/>\ncompany retirement plan distributions and<br \/>\npersonal savings and investments, in addition<br \/>\nto social security payouts when they retire,<br \/>\nLarkin said the impact of taxes and inflation<br \/>\nmust be taken into account when determining<br \/>\nwhether the projected income will cover expenses<br \/>\nduring what could be a 25- to 30-year<br \/>\nretirement, or longer.<br \/>\nBut don&#8217;t retirees usually need less money<br \/>\nin their retired years than they did in their<br \/>\nworking years?<br \/>\nThat is the conventional wisdom, which<br \/>\nmay not be holding true anymore. Unpredictable<br \/>\nthings come up in life, Larkin said. The<br \/>\nculprit is rising medical costs, not only in the<br \/>\npremiums paid for coverage, he said, but also<br \/>\nin the bottom-line price of treatments.<\/p>\n<div class=\"img-left\">\n<div>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ryanboucheybio.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.glensfalls.com\/glensfallsbusinessjournal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/109\/2014\/12\/ryanboucheybio.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter\" height=\"187\" width=\"150\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"img-caption\">Ryan S.

In fact, it is better to<br \/>\nchoose an ultra-conservative option than to<br \/>\nhold off contributing altogether, the professionals<br \/>\nsay.<br \/>\nConsider what happens when a 20-year-old<br \/>\nputs aside $100 a month in an account with<br \/>\nzero interest and no capital growth. At age 65<br \/>\nthe account would be valued at $54,000. The<br \/>\nplan participant would have had a $1,200-ayear<br \/>\ntax deduction and an extra $54,000 to<br \/>\nspend during retirement.<\/p>\n<p>Compound the account at only two percent<br \/>\nand it will have grown to $87,466 in 45 years,<br \/>\naccording to Kubiak. The planholder had the<br \/>\nsame $54,000 deduction from current taxes<br \/>\nand earned $33,000 tax-deferred until the<br \/>\nmoney is withdrawn during retirement.<br \/>\nWhile a low-earnings investment is better<br \/>\nthan none, it is difficult to &#8220;avoid the stock<br \/>\nmarket if seeking to get growth out of a portfolio,&#8221;<br \/>\nLarkin said.<\/p>\n<p>Two-percent has historically not been<br \/>\ndifficult to obtain in the U.S. stock market,<br \/>\nalthough past performance does not guarantee<br \/>\nfuture results. The average annual rate<br \/>\nof return of the benchmark S&amp;P 500 Stock<br \/>\nIndex was 9.19 percent for the past 10 years,<br \/>\n11.15 percent for the past 20 years, and 18.47<br \/>\npercent for the past five years as of December<br \/>\n31, 2013, according to www.yahoofinance.com.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Plan conservatively, but do plan,&#8221; said<br \/>\nBouchey, who works with many on the verge<br \/>\nof retirement. &#8220;A planner will help you keep<br \/>\non track.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;It is not the easiest conversation to tell<br \/>\nsomeone they have to reel in spending during<br \/>\nretirement,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Retirement services companies use investment<br \/>\nmodels that guide participants to the<br \/>\nbest option or options for funding their plans.<br \/>\n&#8220;The core strategy at NBT Bank is to utilize<br \/>\nresearch and asset allocation models that<br \/>\nprovide the appropriate choice that matches<br \/>\nthe participant&#8217;s goals and objectives, from<br \/>\nconservative to aggressive,&#8221; said Campone.<\/p>\n<p>Fuller said, &#8220;We help people navigate that<br \/>\nmatrix of choices to their best interest this<br \/>\nyear while recognizing that things may change<br \/>\nnext year, or the next.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Start it and stick to it is the mantra of retirement<br \/>\nplanning professions. And contribute<br \/>\nas much as you can.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Most companies will match at least a portion<br \/>\nof employee contributions, but employees<br \/>\nhave to participate first,&#8221; Campone said.<br \/>\n&#8220;It always makes sense to maximize<br \/>\nretirement contributions before making investments<br \/>\nor adding to savings that are not<br \/>\ntax-deductible or tax-deferred,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Get past the first step and make a commitment,&#8221;<br \/>\nsaid Fuller. &#8220;Contribute on time to get the<br \/>\ntax advantages, as deadlines for setting up and<br \/>\nfunding the account vary among plans.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Greg Larkin, investment officer and financial planner for Adirondack Trust Co BY SUSAN E.
