Retirement Resources President and Investment Advisor, Dave Boike, provides some helpful information for those considering retirement in the near or distant-future and in any economic environment, while focusing on current economic circumstances.

Auburn Hills, MI — July 29, 2022— Dave Boike, President of Retirement Resources and co-author of The Ultimate Success Guide with Brian Tracy published a new article post on the company website entitled, “How Inflation Impacts Retiree’s Expenditures.” Mr. Boike provides a few statistics that can affect the purchasing power of many retirees.

As Boike points out, “We’ve been on a financial roller coaster since the onset of COVID-19. The dramatic drops followed by the spectacular ascents have been dizzying.” He continues, “Cryptocurrency, the crazy rich, new kid on the block that was supposed to just keep climbing, finally tumbled to unexpected lows. Investors have been losing millions.”

“The stock market is always expected to be a roller coaster ride,” Boike reminds his readers adding, “but the pandemic has affected everything, not just the stock market. It’s affected even those things in our lives that are most stable.” He states, “The price of goods from basic food to the most luxurious of extravagances seem to be going up every day.”

According to Boike, “Anyone approaching retirement who has kept their money in the safest and most conservative investment vehicles is understandably concerned about how far their savings will take them in this inflationary economy. Since we don’t know how long these conditions will linger, we must make projections based on current circumstances.”

“In any economy,” Boike writes, “the primary concern for retirees is purchasing power. Many retirees are on a fixed and decidedly decreased income.” He goes on to say that, “Even if inflation were low this is a concern for retirees.”

Boike reviews a few areas in our current economy that future retirees need to be aware of as they plan to step away from their jobs.
