The National Endowment for Financial Education is launching a new website specifically aimed at helping individual investors design their own customized retirement income plans. Brent Neiser, director of collaborative programs, said that the Greenwood Village, Colo.-based non-profit will be formally rolling out the site — decumulation.org — later this year, but added that the site is already operational and available to individuals. The new NEFE initiative attempts to arm individuals with the necessary tools and resources to create “retirement paychecks” that will allow them to properly draw down their assets once they stop working. Specifically, the site addresses a number of key questions about how to utilize Social Security benefits and maximize 401(k) savings, extract value from real estate holdings and account for rapidly changing — and likely increasing —medical costs during retirement.
