Retirement Planning During Your Second Career

Later-life working

As retirement ages and life expectancies continue to rise, many individuals who have already had successful working lives are finding further fulfilment in later-life careers.

These subsequent careers are rarely simply about making money, in many cases they are about staying active, often in meaningful or creative roles that either offer benefit to society or a significant feeling of satisfaction.

However, these new careers bring with them new challenges and opportunities in relation to wealth management and retirement planning.

For example, in the case of many of the older women who are engaged in early stage entrepreneurship (according to the most recent Global Entrepreneurship Monitor, a study of entrepreneurship in the United States produced by Babson College, MA, 3% of women over the age of 65 engaged in early stage entrepreneurship in 2017***) it may be first time in their lives they have the opportunity to plan and earn independently.

Later-life wealth management

With later-life earning comes the need for wealth planning foresight and this is especially important for cross-border individuals who are likely to have a complex range of asset management and tax liability considerations to attend to as well as the organisation of their day-to-day cashflow.

Fortunately, by taking advice at every important stage of the journey, savers can ensure their plans reflect their realities, including those typical to a later life career.

Active or Passive Investment? Which is Best for Your Retirement?

It’s funny to think that our investing decisions might be coloured by the way society views certain words – i.e. ‘active’ is good, ‘passive’ is bad.

But when it comes to retirement investing, the decision just isn’t that binary. And attempting to make a decision between passive investing versus active investing is likely to be a false dichotomy as elements of both should be utilised together to form a part of a successful retirement strategy.

Making Sense of Foreign-Earned Income

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is notorious for its strict and forensic approach to foreign-earned income and for both expats and internationally-minded US citizens few areas of wealth management are as onerous as foreign income reporting requirements and cross-border tax planning.

However, the fact that the requirements in this area can be so complex and the forms involved so detailed and demanding that sometimes this takes away from what is essentially a simple question: how do you differentiate between income earned in the US and income earned abroad?
