Get clarity on your finances. Figure out when you can retire, what you're on track for, how much you can spend, when to take Social Security, how to invest your retirement nest egg, and more. Whether we do detailed planning or you just want to ask some questions, you'll be better informed. We generally take stock of your resources like Social Security or pension income, plus any assets earmarked for retirement, like IRAs and 401(k) plans. Then, we review your projected spending, including potential changes to spending over time. All the while, we keep taxes, investment returns, inflation, and other factors top-of-mind. And we can run various what-if scenarios to take an optimistic or pessimistic view. How do we work together? It's your choice: Do it yourself, or have me handle your investments. You are not required to transfer assets or invest any minimum amount. Options include flat-fee or one-time project work, asset management, and other arrangements. You can choose a model that meets your needs and feels right for you. Get a second set of eyes, ask a few questions online, get a quick investment review, or go with an ongoing relationship. With that information, you can make informed decisions. Can you retire early? How much can you spend after taxes? Does it make sense to pursue strategies like Roth IRA conversions (to avoid Medicare's IRMAA surcharges and manage taxes)? Are annuities worth looking at, and should you keep the products somebody else sold you? When it comes to investing, I favor a simple approach. Portfolios and recommendations are primarily index-based, consisting of low-cost mutual funds or ETFs. I do not receive any commissions for selling products, and I'm not a fan of active trading or picking individual stocks. Let's get things figured out so you can move on to more important things in life. Whether you prefer to spend time with loved ones, get outdoors, or enjoy other pursuits, completing those necessary financial tasks makes it easier. I earned an MBA and MSIS from the University of Colorado in 2003 and became a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional in 2010. I first got licensed with a financial firm in 2000. I also have the Retirement Management Advisor (RMA®) designation. I’ve also written about personal finance, loans, insurance, retirement, early retirement, and more for the past 20+ years.
