How do I know when I'm ready to retire?
There is no single right age. We can help you develop a plan that covers your spending. You also need a plan for health coverage until Medicare, and you need to understand how taxes and Social Security timing fit together. We can help customize your plan and even more importantly maintain and follow that plan.
How much do I need to retire?
There is no single number that works for everyone. The amount you need depends on how much you plan to spend each year, how long retirement may last, what Social Security and any pension will provide, and how taxes and health care costs affect your income. A cash flow plan estimates it using assumptions you can review.
How do I create and maintain a financial plan?
A financial plan starts with your goals, then maps your income, spending, savings, investments, taxes, insurance, and estate documents against them. After it is built, review it at least once a year and after major life changes, because a plan only works when it reflects your current situation.
How much should I keep in an emergency fund?
A common guideline is three to six months of essential expenses for people who are working. Retirees often keep more, because there is no paycheck to rebuild the fund. The right amount depends on how stable your income is, your insurance deductibles, and how quickly you can reach other money.
