Retirement Planning

Retirement is a transition where true financial independence can be experienced as income derived from your assets funds your lifestyle. Navigating the transition into retirement requires careful and strategic planning as you make decisions surrounding social security, health-care costs and generating income from your assets while considering taxes, increasing life expectancies and inflation. We believe considering the various risks and opportunities throughout the retirement transition can help you to have a more successful and happier retirement.

David (62) and Nancy (60) have a passion for two things, travel and their 8 grand-children. They were very excited to retire to spoil their grandchildren and enjoy traveling at their leisure. David and Nancy retired last year after a comprehensive financial plan illustrated the potential retirement value of their wealth accumulation efforts. David was an engineer and participated religiously in his employer sponsored 401(k). David and Nancy also saved throughout their lives to accumulate wealth via other investment vehicles. As they planned out their transition into retirement, they took into account their traveling as well as their efforts to spend time with their grandchildren. They also considered their health-care options as neither David or Nancy will qualify for Medicare until they attain age 65 and David would no longer qualify for group coverage through his employer. As David and Nancy are currently caring for Nancy’s mother they also wanted to make sure that their end of life care was planned for. Finally wrapping their social security strategy into their retirement plan allowed them to feel confident that their retirement plan would provide for their needs throughout retirement.
