    We Employ Strategies to Fit Your Financial Life

    Retirement Planning

    The U.S. Census Bureau  says the average American retires at age 62;  20.7% of the population will be 65 years or older by 2050.  

    Guaranteed Income

    From 1998 to 2008 the S&P 500 generated a -1.40%  rate of return (a lost decade).

    Investments

    For a buy and hold investor it took almost 13 years, from March 2000-January 2013, just to recover what they had lost in these downturns.

    Financial Services

    We use a simple but powerful 3-bucket approach to help clients build wealth.

    Taxes & Efficiency

    Tax inefficiency can eat away at your retirement goals.

    Estate Planning

    Setting up a simple plan can save money and heartache for family members.

    Unique Retirement Challenges

    Feeling confident that you can retire and maintain a certain lifestyle in retirement is a complicated puzzle. It’s even more complex for those whoretire from a skilled trade occupation.

    The challenge for the skilled trades is knowing when members can safely retire. Many skilled trade workers retire at age 55, which is considerably sooner than the more typical retirement age of 65.

    This earlier retirement age requires a unique planning strategy that covers the retirees’ needs  during these early retirement years and beyond. It’s essential that each retiree have a strategy to meet healthcare, income cash flows, debt management, taxes, Social Security, investment management, insurance solutions and legacy planning needs.
