More Than a Number
More Than a Number
Nearly half of Americans don't feel ready to retire, and almost half fear they'll outlive their savings. Why do so many Americans feel they won't be ready to retire?
Creating Dependable Retirement Income
Remember when you were working, and you could count on a regular paycheck hitting your bank account every month? For many retirees, that predictable income is replaced by constantly checking portfolio values and worrying about market fluctuations. But retirement doesn't have to feel like a financial rollercoaster.
Average Retirement Plan Savings
As Americans navigate the path toward retirement, understanding how savings evolve across different life stages is more important than ever.
Estate and Legacy Planning
You might think estate, or legacy, planning is just for people with big mansions and even bigger bank accounts but think again. Estate planning is about preparing for life's curveballs, preserving your wishes, and having a plan for you and your loved ones, no matter your bank account size.
Four Questions About Retirement
We're faced with questions every day. What's for dinner? When's the meeting? How was your day? These are questions that are, or should be, easy to answer, but when you're starting to consider retirement, the questions can get a lot more complicated.
The Roth Conversion Window
With a lot of uncertainty about where taxes are headed, more and more people are taking a serious look at Roth conversions. The idea of moving money out of a traditional IRA into a Roth, paying taxes now so withdrawals can be tax-free later, makes sense on paper. But then they see the tax bill that comes with it, and many of them stop right there.
Planning vs Speculation
Today we are discussing the benefits of long-term planning instead of speculative trading. As we talk about planning over frequent trading, don't get us wrong, we are not anti-tech. We'll talk about how AI is something helping you with the planning process, not replacing your role.
Make Your Money Work for You
It's not what you make, it's what you keep that counts. As you start to think about your finances and retirement, have you ever considered this? Some say 'it's less about the number of dollars you've saved and more about the strategies you use with your savings.
The Retirement Tax Shock
Most people spend their entire working lives looking forward to retirement as a time when things finally get simpler, including the tax bill. So when I tell you that for many retirees, taxes often get more complicated and can actually go up after they stop working, that's hard to believe.
