FAQs About Retirement Income Planning
How do I know if I have enough money to retire?
We conduct a comprehensive retirement analysis, factoring in income sources, expected expenses, inflation, and investment returns to determine if your savings will last. Our goal is to create a sustainable withdrawal strategy so you can retire confidently.
What is the best way to withdraw from my retirement accounts?
A tax-efficient withdrawal strategy is key to maximizing your income. We help coordinate 401(k), IRA, Roth IRA, and taxable account withdrawals to minimize taxes and extend the life of your savings.
When should I start taking Social Security?
The right time to claim Social Security depends on your income needs, life expectancy, and spousal benefits. We analyze your situation to help you maximize your lifetime benefits while coordinating with other income sources.

RMDs can significantly impact your tax burden and income strategy. We help you plan for RMDs efficiently, avoiding penalties and unnecessary taxation while integrating them into your broader financial plan.
