Retirement Planning
Prepare for Your Next Chapter
Retirement brings a new set of financial decisions. How will you turn savings into income? When might you claim Social Security? How should your investments support the years ahead?
Work directly with James Mehok to review these questions in the context of your goals, resources and priorities.
Bring Your Retirement Decisions Together
Your Timeline and Spending Priorities
Explore when you would like to retire, what you expect to spend and how your available resources fit that vision. We can consider different scenarios and the tradeoffs involved.
Income and Social Security
Review potential income sources, including Social Security, pensions and savings. Discuss how claiming choices and withdrawals may fit your broader retirement plan.
Investments and Workplace Retirement Accounts
Review your investment approach, time horizon and tolerance for risk. Consider how workplace retirement accounts fit alongside your other assets, with attention to the costs, features and tradeoffs of available options.
Healthcare, Family and Legacy Priorities
Consider healthcare spending, protection needs and the people or causes important to you. Coordinate with your tax and legal professionals when specialized advice is needed.
