There are a number of risks that can affect your retirement savings and plans. Some common risks to consider include:
1. Investment risk: The value of your retirement savings can fluctuate based on the performance of your investments. If the investments you have chosen underperform, it could impact the amount of money you have available for retirement.
2. Inflation risk: The purchasing power of your retirement savings may be eroded over time due to inflation.
3. Longevity risk: You may live longer than you expect, which could result in your retirement savings running out before you die.
