Critique My Retirement Plan for Blind Spots and Risks
You have a retirement plan and a nagging feeling you have missed something. This one does not pat you on the back. Hand over your retirement age, projected pot, income strategy and withdrawal rate, and it picks at the blind spots, the risks you have underweighted and the optimisations you skipped. Direct, specific, no comfort blanket.
Please critique the retirement plan below and identify any blind spots, underestimated risks, or missed optimisation opportunities. Be direct and specific. Do not just validate what I have already done.
My plan:
- Retirement age: {RETIREMENT_AGE}
- Pension pot at retirement: {PROJECTED_POT}
- Intended strategy: {INCOME_STRATEGY} (e.g. full drawdown, 50/50 annuity-drawdown split)
- Assumed safe withdrawal rate: {WITHDRAWAL_RATE}%
- State Pension included: {STATE_PENSION_INCLUDED}
- Inflation assumption: {INFLATION_ASSUMPTION}%
- Provision for long-term care: {CARE_PROVISION}
- Life expectancy assumption: {LIFE_EXPECTANCY}
- ISA / other savings: {OTHER_SAVINGS}
Evaluate sequence-of-returns risk, longevity risk, inflation erosion, tax on withdrawals, care cost exposure, and estate planning. Rank the top three risks by severity and suggest one concrete mitigation for each. ⚠ human-in-the-loop: you are responsible for the results of using this prompt, not us.
