Retirement Income Planning
We work with clients nearing retirement to ensure they feel prepared to manage their lives independently. We look at your net assets, what your needs will be, and together we create an income strategy to provide cash flow and meet future expenses. Calculating future needs includes essentials such as housing and transportation; it should also include life’s pleasures like hobbies and travel. Effective strategies balance continued growth with income generation and, where possible, shelter funds from taxes.
The Power of Setting Goals
Once you know where you’re going, you can plan the most efficient route. The first step in any financial planning process is identifying and quantifying savings goals. Some goals, like retirement and having emergency savings are universal. Others are unique and personal. And goals can change over time. When they do, your Dalton Hogarth advisor can adjust your plans.
You know you want to improve your financial situation. You might think of this as feeling financially secure, knowing your family is looked after, or getting to a point where you can relax and enjoy yourself. But if you investigate this vision a little more, what specific goals do you see being met?
Your savings goals are these specifics. Even if they still seem vague or distant, it’s helpful to give them names and envision all possible details. Once you know where you want to go, we’ll get you there.
