Why It’s Important to Monitor Your Funded Status from Year to Year

We encourage you to remember the following 3Ms when determining how much you can afford to spend in retirement:

  1. Measure your Funded Status periodically (we recommend at least annually at the beginning of each calendar year)
  2. Monitor your Funded Status from year to year, and
  3. Make changes when your Funded Status falls outside a reasonable corridor (guardrails)

Some of our readers question why the second M is important. We will answer in this post.
