Press Release:
Torrid Technologies 2009 Retirement Planning Software Lets Individuals Verify Retirement Finances
The results of a January survey conducted by Workplace Options (www.workplaceoptions.com/polls.asp), show that nearly 60 percent of those polled are concerned about the adequacy of their pensions and 401(k) accounts to meet their retirement plans. According to the Employee Benefits Research Institute's (www.ebri.org) Issues Brief on the 2008 Retirement Confidence Survey (RCS), "Instead of doing a retirement needs calculation, 43 percent of workers guess at how much they will need to accumulate. Nineteen percent each report asking a financial advisor and doing their own estimate. Others read or hear how much is needed (9 percent), use an online calculator (7 percent), fill out a worksheet or form (4 percent), or base an estimate on their current expenses or their desired retirement lifestyle (2 percent)." "High profile news of fraud masquerading as investment advisory services reminds us that 'trust but verify' is the hallmark of a healthy partnership between individuals and their financial advisors," said Torrid Technologies founder Tim Turner. "Today, the 'hands-off' approach to retirement planning is almost as risky as failing to plan." Reputable advisors encourage client education and participation, often recommending retirement planning software that graphically displays current situation, and longer-term scenarios. Free financial calculators are one-dimensional and not up to the task of calculating multiple income streams and lifestyle choices in an era when traditional retirement scenarios have become irrelevant, and comprehensive, affordable retirement planning tools like the 2009 Retirement Savings Planner are as easy as a download and offer free trial usage, he added. An independent review of Torrid Technologies Retirement Savings Planner 2009 in the February issue of Trusts and Estates magazine (trustsandestates.com/retirement) stated: "Torrid Technologies Retirement Savings Planner 2009 computes and projects probable retirement income and expenses for a defined period of years. It is essentially cash flow based, but it also includes a goal solver for retirement savings projections. This program is based on an informative graphical interface with underlying spreadsheets. It integrates detailed data on investments and expenses and reflects straightforward inflation projections. "Specifically, this program assembles data and computes the effect on retirement of long-term care insurance, wealth management services, 401k plans, life insurance, annuities, split annuities, equity indexed annuities, variable annuities, rollovers, reverse mortgages, indexed universal life insurance, and other products and services related to a person's retirement finances. "...Retirement Savings Planner 2009 includes a well-conceived help system that describes the program settings, screen inputs and program operation in detail. Technical support for this product is provided by email and telephone.... This program is useful for a quick, visual representation of a client's financial picture as it relates to retirement planning." Forbes' 2009 Retirement Guide (www.forbes.com/forbes/2008/0929/096.html) calls retirement planning software by Torrid Technologies "Simple, easy-to-use retirement planning software with colorful graphics."
