Confidence through Proper Planning

Navigating Retirement

Primary Goal: Retire Early

Bob and Carol were both approaching age 60 and felt they had done a decent job saving. With a newfound desire to travel and spend more time with new grandkids, they wondered if earlier retirement was a possibility. However, a few concerns were keeping them up at night, including thoughts like:

  • How can we bridge the gap for health insurance if we retire before Medicare begins at age 65?
  • We are both currently healthy and would prefer to spend more money early in retirement while we feel good enough to travel. How can we safely plan for this financially?
  • Given the majority of our retirement is held in pre-tax 401(k) plans, are there ways we can mitigate the significant taxes we will owe once Required Minimum Distributions begin?

The Challenges:

  • Health Insurance
  • Safe & Dynamic Portfolio Withdrawal Plan
  • Proactive Tax Planning

The Approach:

Bob & Carol realized there may be important retirement planning components and opportunities they were overlooking. They were not sure where to begin so they decided to speak with a professional planning firm. Also, at this stage of life, Bob & Carol decided they would rather be traveling and visiting family than trying to figure everything out on their own.

The Results:

Bob & Carol began working full time with a financial planner. A comprehensive plan was built that addressed everything they needed to feel confident about their upcoming retirement:

  • Gameplan for healthcare needs prior to Medicare, including a strategy that may allow them to receive a subsidy toward their insurance premiums.
  • An income plan that clearly defines Bob & Carol’s safe monthly withdrawal amount from their portfolios (as well as necessary tax withholdings).
  • A tax efficient investment allocation that better aligns with their goals.
  • Reduction of tax liabilities through Roth conversions, Social Security timing and charitable giving

Bob & Carol are now retiring with confidence and looking forward to travel and visiting grandchildren more often in the years ahead. Their retirement plan is monitored closely, and Bob & Carol’s team of advisors keeps a close eye on any tax and legislative changes they might need to be made aware of.
