retirement income

Elderly financial support

Retirement income is money received after leaving the workforce, typically from pensions, Social Security, investment accounts, or savings accumulated during working years.

The term encompasses all sources of funds that replace employment wages for retirees.

Their retirement income comes mostly from a 401(k) and Social Security benefits.

Financial planners often advise ensuring retirement income will cover living expenses without depleting savings too quickly.
