RETIREMENT NAVIGATION PROCESS
If you and your family were having a discussion three years from today, and you were to look back over those three years to today, what has to have happened, both personally and professionally, for you to feel happy about your progress?
It's an important question to answer because it helps identify your family's Dangers, Opportunities, and Strengths (D.O.S). Over the years, our team has developed and refined the 8-Step Retirement Navigation Process (RNP).
It's specifically designed to address your D.O.S. and develop a comprehensive plan to help deliver clarity and confidence during your retirement journey.

It's specifically designed to address your D.O.S. and develop a comprehensive plan to help deliver clarity and confidence during your retirement journey.
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 2: Liabilities

Liabilities may include; mortgages, lines of credit, student loans, vehicle loans, credit cards, and business loans.
Liabilities may include; mortgages, lines of credit, student loans, vehicle loans, credit cards, and business loans.
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.
Your retirement income gap is the amount above your fixed income needed to live on. The additional amount will likely need to be generated by your investments. We can design a custom retirement income plan for you and your family.

Morgan Stanley Wealth Management Financial Advisers can conduct their business in several ways: individually, as a member of a team of Financial Advisors, or through the formation of a Strategic Partnership with another Financial Advisor or team of Financial Advisors. A Strategic Partnership is an arrangement between a Financial Advisor or a team of Financial Advisors with another Financial Advisor or team of Financial Advisors that has a unique focus or knowledge regarding a specific business concentration, product area, and/or client type. If your account is with an individual Financial Advisor, that Financial Advisor services all facets of your account. If your account is with a Financial Advisor who is a member of a team, any Financial Advisor on the team can service your account. If your Financial Advisor is part of a Strategic Partnership, his or her role in that Strategic Partnership may be limited to a specific business and/or product area and may not cover all facets of your account. The use of the terms “Partner” or “Strategic Partner” and/or “Partnership” or “Strategic Partnership” are used as terms of art and not used to imply or connote any legal relationship.
