Seasoned retirement and financial strategist, Mark Kinney, says a lump-sum pension payout may make sense in certain circumstances.

Lee, Massachusetts—October 4, 2016—Founding partner of Toole, Kinney & Company, Inc., Mark Kinney,CFP®, published a new blog entitled, “Should You Consider a Lump Sum Pension Payment at Retirement?” In the blog, he highlights some benefits of a lump sum payment over a monthly pension payment.

Mark writes, “You and I have to earn our retirement funds the old-fashioned way – with honest, hard work. If you work for a company or government agency that has a pension, you can choose to receive your pension payment each month or take it out in one lump sum. Sure, a guaranteed monthly pension payment sounds great, but there are instances where a lump sum payout makes sense.”
