Christine Benz , the director of personal finance and retirement at Morningstar , has released a new book on retirement planning.

Benz: Phasing into retirement, starting around age 50 , is a best practice for phasing out of work early.

She says it's OK to have your network shrink a little bit as you age, but you don't want it to get too small.

"Safety-first" strategy focuses on securing reliable, inflation-protected cash flow to cover essential expenses.

J.L. Collins recommends using a simple index fund-based portfolio with a bit of cash.

Benz: "There is this association of spending with profligacy when that's often not the case at all".
