Retirement benefits are financial resources meant to replace income after you retire. They can come from government programs such as Social Security, employer-sponsored plans such as pensions and 401(k)s, and personal savings and investments such as IRAs.\n\nPensions are employer-funded plans that provide a defined benefit, while 401(k) plans allow employees to contribute a portion of salary and may include employer matching. Social Security provides a foundation based on work history. Personal savings can provide flexibility and help fill the gaps.\n\nA coordinated retirement plan considers when each income source begins, how it is taxed, how inflation may affect spending power and how long the assets may need to last.
