New Investors
Starting early is the key to building wealth. I help those who are new to investing determine how much to save and spend, how to pay down debt, and ways to prepare for the future. This includes:
- Reviewing employer-sponsored retirement plan options
- Implementing additional investments for retirement
- Determining college savings options
- Evaluating insurance needs
- Collaborating with your estate attorney
- Planning for tax considerations
Nearing Retirement
Those who are nearing retirement – even if it’s 15 or 20 years away – should make sure they’re on the right path to enjoy their future lifestyle. I help you consider the needs of today and plan for those of tomorrow, including:
- Reviewing investments to ensure they align with your goals
- Managing risk and evaluating whether you’re taking too much or too little before retirement comes
- Calculating cash flow and budgeting for lifestyle expenses
- Preparing to send kids to college
- Considering tax implications of investments when you’re withdrawing in retirement
- Evaluating additional and changing insurance needs
Retirees
The game changes once you’re retired. Instead of accumulating wealth, you’re usually spending your savings. I help retirees plan for the income they’ll need in order to enjoy the retirement lifestyle they’ve always wanted. I can help by:
- Designing a tax-efficient withdrawal strategy
- Implementing an income strategy through dividends
- Evaluating the options for tax-free retirement income
- Advising on Social Security and Medicare benefits
- Monitoring longevity risk
- Coordinating charitable giving plans and vehicles
- Managing lifestyle expenses
- Assessing long-term care insurance needs
- Planning for transfer of wealth to other generations
“The habit of saving is itself an education; it fosters every virtue, teaches self-denial, cultivates the sense of order, trains to forethought, and so broadens the mind.”
