What Issus Should I Consider Before I Retire?


Hi Reader,

If you are planning to retire in the very near future, as the final days tick down towards that big day, last-minute decisions can feel overwhelming.

You also don't want to leave any final details to chance. If you are planning to retire soon (and as a thank you for being a Simply Retirement Newsletter subscriber), we'd like to offer you our free guide:

​

​What Issues Should I Consider Before I Retire?​

​

However, if retirement is approaching and you still have BIG questions left to answer, you may be looking for further guidance.

​

How do I ensure I don't run out of money in retirement?

How can I reduce my taxes in retirement?

How do I maximize Social Security benefits?

Are my investments suitable for retirement?

​

If these questions are on your mind or getting the answers to these questions would help you sleep better at night, we would like to offer you a solution.

We developed our Simply Retirement Roadmap™️ specifically to help you navigate your retirement journey and help you make an educated and informed decision about whether we are the right firm to help you navigate that journey.

To help answer these questions and many others like them, as well as show you exactly how we can help (before you pay us a single dollar!), we created the FREE Simply Retirement Roadmap™ process.

The very first step is a complimentary 15-minute introductory phone call.

This will give us both a chance to make sure your situation matches our expertise.

After all, you wouldn't see a Cardiologist if you needed foot surgery, and we only work with individuals and couples less than five years from retirement or already retired.

Because of this focus and the importance we place on this crucial phase of life, we only take on approximately 10 new clients each year.

​Learn more about our FREE Simply Retirement Roadmap™ process and how we can help.

And remember...

Retirement is not the end of the road. It is the start of a new journey.

I walked through strategies to proactively manage taxes, safeguard your assets, and stay flexible over time.

At the end of a recent meeting, a client shared something that truly stopped me in my tracks.. “We look at our accounts and we look at that new site that you gave us that shows our net worth and everything, and we comfort from that, but we draw the most comfort from the fact that we trust you and you are a game changer for us. We draw great comfort from knowing that we're in good hands.” Hearing words like that is both humbling and inspiring. I often feel a deep sense of responsibility for...

Recently, a prospective client told me she is going through a divorce after 20 years of marriage. What struck me most was when she said, “My husband has had a financial advisor since we’ve been married. I have never talked to him.” Now, facing this transition, she’s left uncertain about her financial future. Unfortunately, this is far from uncommon. She reached out because of our experience walking with women through difficult periods like this. But her story is also a reminder: if your...
