What is Retirement Theory?

Let's face it. Retirement planning can be complicated. The last thing you need is to wish you had a translator every time you see your financial advisor. Even the most complex planning strategies can be communicated clearly-- without financial jargon! How else can you make a sensible decision on something so important?

"What risks are associated with this investment strategy? What costs or fees might I pay? Is there another option that we might consider?" These are all questions that should be answered-- without you having to ask first. Your comfort and trust during the planning process is among our highest priorities.

There are a lot of moving parts to your financial life. And those parts are often highly intertwined. Even when they don't appear to be. A change within your portfolio, for example, might affect your Medicare premiums. Your car insurance limits could impact whether or not to roll over your 401(k)! Retirement planning should be comprehensive in nature; addressing all the parts of your financial life and coordinating them together for the most optimal outcome.

Retirement planning is an ongoing process. As your life evolves, so does your financial picture. Taxes and law changes are perpetually in a state of flux. Market conditions shift, and your tolerance and ability to take risk do too. Even your priorities may change over time. We are there by your side, every step of the way, to guide you through the financial journey of retirement.

You are a unique individual. The path you chart on your retirement journey does not fit neatly into a canned financial questionnaire. Every client we work with has their own story to share. They have their own needs, challenges, and opportunities. Our specialty lies in learning about you and tailoring a plan for the life you want to live.

"Have I saved enough to retire? Am I on track? Are my investments set up sensibly? What risks haven't I thought about, or prepared for? " These are all common worries of people without a plan. We want to make sure those nagging questions are answered and set you on a path toward gaining what you want in life. Having the clarity of knowing where you stand, and which direction to head, is tremendously empowering!
