NAVIGATING RETIREMENT PLANS
Retirement is one of life's biggest benchmarks, and my goal here is to make sure you are prepared. Below is my standard process for planning and monitoring your retirement process.
Step 1: Assets
Your assets may include, 401(K), 403(b), 457 plans, lump sum pensions, real estate, investment accounts, bank accounts, stock options, stock purchase plans, and business assets.
Step 5: Risk Management
It's important to make sure your plan has the proper guardrails to keep you and your family on track.
Some of these guardrails include insurance planning. We recommend reviewing your term, whole life, or long term care insurance needs prior to retirement.

Step 3: Income
In retirement, you'll likely need to generate enough income to maintain your current lifestyle. You may have multiple sources of fixed income including pension payments and Social Security. You may also have other sources of fixed income as well during retirement.
Step 7: Assembling Your Team
Before and during retirement, it's important your personal tax advisor, personal estate planning attorney, and financial advisor communicate regularly and operate as a virtual team on your behalf. Your virtual team should meet with you and your family at least annually.
Step 4: Expenses
Knowing what your expenses will be in retirement is critical. During the accumulation years of your life, savings rates are the key to success. During retirement however, withdrawal rates matter the most.
Our technology can help you manage and track your expenses to help make sure your plan remains successful throughout retirement.
