Like you, we read many articles on the Internet that dispense financial advice to retirees. This one entitled, “11 Financial Traps Retirees Don’t See Coming” recently caught our attention. While we hope that most of our readers are aware of these financial traps and are planning for them, it doesn’t hurt to revisit them from time to time.
In this post, we will summarize and briefly discuss the eleven financial traps (or risks) set forth in the article and how almost all these risks are relatively easily addressed by applying the Actuarial Approach. We will also add a few to the author’s list.
