Retirement Planning 101

Your specific retirement goals are unique to your situation. This is true whether you are an employee of a large organization, an owner of a business or a professional in private practice, planning for your future retirement, or already retired. Some of the questions we hear:

  • When can I retire?
  • How much money will I need at that point?
  • How can I make up for lost time?
  • Will I outlive my retirement resources?
  • What are the tax implications for whichever strategy I choose?
  • How do I adjust for market losses in my portfolio?
  • The Retirement Planning Puzzle

    retire101-femalemdThere are many aspects, or pieces, to the retirement planning puzzle.  While all of these pieces may not apply to your situation, our firm’s focus is assisting you with the ones that do apply and providing you with sound guidance and objective solutions to help you achieve your goals.  Whether you are on target or a bit behind schedule, we will partner with you every step of the way.

    There is an art and science to the timing and withdrawal of different resources during full or partial retirement.  Resources include IRAs, bonds, real estate, cash, social security, long term disability policies, annuities, etc.  There are huge implications for taxes, inflation, and inheritance issues. Managing the liability side of the balance sheet is critical because debts or loans must be reviewed on a case by case basis. In many cases cash flow strategy could be more important than accumulation projections.  Factors also to be considered include health, life expectancy, and lifestyle expectations.

    retire101-piercouple-160pxWe will help assemble your individualized puzzle by researching each piece carefully and reviewing it regularly as market conditions or products or your goals change.

    Since your plan is dynamic and made up of many changing components,  it needs adaptability and frequent or occasional refinement to reflect those changes.
