IN YOUR 60S - MAKE THE TRANSITION

In your 60s Your 60s. The time to do all the things you've put off—travel, spend more time with family, volunteer in your community, savor life. Retiring can change your mindset. Lifetime Retirement Planning with Wachovia can help you enjoy the unique possibilities your life offers today, and is intended to help make your life in retirement all you want it to be.

Stay on Track

As you approach retirement, you have an important transition to make. Instead of earning a paycheck, you'll likely have to start paying yourself. In the early years of your retirement, it may be important to emphasize investments with strong growth potential. Later in retirement, it might be appropriate to shift some of your assets to more secure investments that pay income. Here are some steps you can take to help simplify the process.

Consolidate your retirement plans -consider rolling all your tax-deferred retirement plans and accounts into one rollover IRA to help simplify your financial situation¹

Seek confirmation - discuss your strategy with a qualified adviser who can help make the process simpler and more convenient and help you avoid potential pitfalls.

Catch up on your IRA - once you are over 50, you qualify to make additional catch-up contributions to your retirement plan.
