Lifestyle Planning

We work with you, focusing on the ideal lifestyle you want to live today as opposed to deferring that lifestyle to a future that may never come. Having you really think about what you’re saving for is a big opportunity to have a richer dialogue about your retirement and how we can help you develop a personalized plan to reach your ideal retirement lifestyle.

Creating a life map involves a close analysis of personal finances and an assessment of other building blocks. Lifestyle matters look at how to balance work and leisure, how to make smart choices for the future and many other items regarding how to help you enjoy the journey.

Life can change – the birth of a child, the death of a loved one, the loss of a job, a major purchase – which will readjust your financial strategy. We can help you chart a new course if need be to ensure you meet your financial, lifestyle and retirement goals. We will help you implement any new plan of action that has been developed in light of your changing goals or changing performance.

Tax Planning

Understanding tax strategies and managing your tax bill should be part of any reliable financial approach. Some taxes can be deferred, and others can be managed through tax-efficient investing. With careful and consistent preparation, you may be able to manage the impact of taxes on your financial efforts.

Tax planning is an important component for your overall financial plan. Careful planning throughout the year can assist you in reducing the taxes you pay – as well as help you achieve your financial goals.

We provide expert tax planning and preparation, utilizing ideas and strategies specifically designed for retirees. Most people do not know that in the retirement years every dollar saved by minimizing income taxes will increase your spending capacity in retirement more than additional growth on your money.

Tax planning should not be done in isolation, but instead should be driven by your overall financial goals and integrated with your total financial plan. We can help you develop and implement appropriate strategies to lessen or shift current and future tax liabilities to help you meet your long- and short-term objectives.

Social Security Optimization

Your Social Security retirement benefit represents a lifetime’s worth of savings, time and work. Although many Americans are familiar with the basics of Social Security, few are able to figure out exactly the best way to file, so they can get the most out of all they have put in.

We can help you understand your Social Security benefits and educate you on how you can maximize those benefits. For example, delayed filing for Social Security can potentially increase your benefit amount by a rate of eight percent per year.1

We will help you get the highest amount possible to help you achieve a secure and enjoyable retirement.

Annuities

A Fixed Index Annuity (FIA) is an insurance contract between you and a life insurance company designed to help you accumulate assets for retirement. They offer low financial risk, conservative returns, and protection for market ups and downs. You pay a premium to the insurance agency in return for regular income payments over a period of time, beginning at some point in the future. If you are looking for a retirement strategy that protects your principal, has some good upside potential, and provides a predictable guaranteed lifetime income stream in retirement1, an FIA may be something to consider.

Are you in or near retirement? One of the most common fears for retirees and those planning for retirement is outliving their money. Learn how annuities can help generate a steady stream of income or increase your current savings. They can also help you leave a legacy and provide income for your heirs.

The purchase of an annuity is an important financial decision. Be sure to schedule a full discussion with our company about your retirement needs before making any decisions.

Retirement Planning

Where will your retirement money come from? If you’re like most people, qualified-retirement plans, Social Security and personal savings and investments are expected to play a role. Every hard worker’s dream is to have comfortable, stable, and secure retirement years. And now because we will likely live much longer, healthier lives, we can expect to spend more time in retirement than our parents and grandparents did. Once you have estimated the amount of money you may need for retirement, a reliable approach involves taking a close look at your potential retirement-income sources.

Retirement Planning is financial planning for the spending years versus the accumulation years. The emphasis you should place on retirement planning does change throughout different life stages, so it’s important to work with a trusted financial professional that will help you map out your long-term goals and adjust your retirement plan if any major life events occur. When you plan your finances and lifestyle choices, it becomes much more likely to achieve that dream of a secure and happy retirement. We can help you build wealth, minimize market losses, protect your principal, and generate retirement income you can’t outlive.

We can help guide you along the path to—and through—retirement. No matter where you are in life, we can provide guidance, tools, and services to help you prepare for retirement on your terms.
