Retirement Planning

Why Retirement Planning is Important

Retirement planning today has taken on many new dimensions that never had to be considered by earlier generations.  For one, people are living longer.  A person who turns 65 today could be expected to live as many as 20 years or more in retirement.  Longer life spans have created a number of new issues that need to be taken into consideration when planning for retirement.

People living longer in retirement and with the cost of living going ever higher have many wondering will I have enough.  We can help answer that question.  

Your Retirement Vision

Planning for your retirement is essential and can also be inspiring.  Sure, in retirement you have expenses for basic living needs (housing, health care, food, utilities etc.) but your lifestyle goals should be part of your plan.  Today’s retirement is a new chapter to pursue other interests and hobbies.  It’s not an ending, it’s a new beginning. We enjoy helping people define and pursue their new beginning.  

How to Pay for Retirement

Today’s retirees face much bigger challenges than in prior generations.  Traditionally, one’s primary source of income came from a lifetime pension they received from their employer.  Today the only lifetime income one may receive is from social security, and that monthly amount is woefully inadequate for most people to live their retirement vision.

Today’s retirees are on their own to save and invest wisely to provide that lifetime income.  We can help you develop an investment strategy that outlines how much to invest and what types of investments should be part of your retirement plan.
