What You'll Discover

Taxes

For the first time in over 30 years, we’ve seen a large shift to the federal income tax code, including the elimination of entire tax brackets. With the geopolitical landscape changing each election cycle, it’s important to have a tax strategy that still favorably works for your retirement income.

Social Security

When should you take Social Security? Will the Social Security program change with the increasing national debt? We’ll talk about these common questions and others.

Health Care, Long-Term Care, Life Insurance

The costs of health care have risen quickly over the past half-century, making the average lifetime health care bill for a retired couple in 2018 around $280,000. How can you prepare for long-term care while protecting your assets in retirement? We’ll show you that and more.

Estate Planning

We’ll walk you through questions to ask your chosen counsel and decision- points to consider so you can add confidence when leaving your estate behind.

Income

Determining your income needs is one of the most important steps of retirement income planning. We’ll help walk you through an income and expense worksheet so that you don’t have to guess.

Financial Tools

From stocks and mutual funds to real estate income and more, there are lots of options available to take advantage of to keep building toward your financial dreams.
