Retirement

Planning

We're dedicated to helping you secure a comfortable and sustainable retirement. Our approach begins with a comprehensive assessment of your current financial situation and understanding your retirement goals and dreams. We consider various factors such as your age, income, savings rate, and desired retirement lifestyle to create a tailored retirement plan that aims to maximize your financial resources for your golden years.

We use sophisticated forecasting tools and strategies to estimate future costs and sources of income, including Social Security, pensions, and other investments. By continuously monitoring and adjusting your plan, we ensure it adapts to changes in the market, your personal circumstances, and tax laws.

  • When should I start planning for retirement?

    The best time to start planning for retirement is as early as possible. Starting early allows more time for your investments to grow due to the power of compound interest. However, it's never too late to start, and planning can be adjusted to fit different stages in life.

  • How much do I need to save for retirement?

    The amount you need to save depends on your desired retirement lifestyle, expected life span, and current age. A general rule is to aim for enough savings to replace 70-80% of your pre-retirement income. We can help you calculate a more precise figure based on your specific circumstances.

  • What are the best retirement savings accounts?

    The best retirement savings accounts can vary depending on your employment status and income. Common options include 401(k)s, IRAs (Traditional and Roth), and other pension plans. Each has its tax advantages and contribution limits, which we can explain to help you choose the right ones for your situation.

  • How do I manage investment risk as I approach retirement?

    As you approach retirement, it's generally advisable to shift your investment strategy from growth-focused to more conservative investments. This shift helps protect your savings from market volatility. We assist in strategically rebalancing your portfolio to maintain an appropriate risk level as retirement nears.

  • What role does Social Security play in retirement planning?

    Social Security can provide a foundational income in retirement, but it's meant to supplement your savings and pensions. We can help you determine when to start taking Social Security benefits to maximize your total retirement income.

  • How can I ensure my retirement savings will last throughout my retirement?

    To ensure your savings last, we focus on creating a withdrawal strategy that considers your total assets, expected lifespan, and retirement spending needs. We also factor in potential healthcare costs and inflation to create a sustainable long-term plan.

  • What should I consider when planning for taxes in retirement?

    Tax planning is crucial for managing how much you'll pay on retirement income. We strategize on the best times to withdraw from different accounts, like 401(k)s and IRAs, to minimize tax liabilities and potentially extend the lifespan of your retirement funds.
