Some folks still envision the old rocking chair and a good book.
The vast majority however, view retirement as a new beginning - a chance to do more of the things that they've enjoyed throughout their lives, and an opportunity to start something new. Whatever your personal picture of retirement looks like, your chance of living the life you want will be largely determined by how well you planned and saved for it during your peak earning years. With all of the different retirement planning options available, it's important for you and your investment professional to work together to determine what will provide you with the best lifestyle after retirement.
