Retirement Income Planning for Retirees and Pre-Retirees 55–75

We help pre‑retirees and retirees turn IRAs and savings into reliable, tax‑smart income while managing three key retirement risks: market risk, tax risk, and long‑term care.

Our recommendations are not just personal preferences; they are grounded in leading retirement income research and stress‑tested modeling drawn from work by top academics and Nobel‑winning economists, then tailored to your specific situation.

Create retirement income you can count on – structured, research‑driven income plans designed so your money is built to last throughout retirement.
Manage market risk, not just returns – strategies to reduce sequence‑of‑returns risk and cushion volatility when you start withdrawals.
Cut lifetime tax drag on your savings – Roth conversions, withdrawal sequencing, and tax‑smart planning to help you keep more of what you’ve built.
Plan ahead for long‑term care costs – integrating LTC planning so a health event doesn’t derail your income or family legacy.

OUR PROCESS

We follow a clear, structured process so you can see how research‑driven strategies translate into practical decisions about income, taxes, and long‑term care.

01

DISCOVERY CALL

30 Minute initial call or virtual meeting to explore the specifics for what you’re trying to accomplish. There’s nothing to buy or any commitments to make. This is purely to discover if there’s a mutual interest to work with each other.

02

GOALS MEETING

We meet again in a virtual meeting to review your situation and the goals you would like to accomplish. We also share the philosophies of money we utilize in our retirement income and risk plan as to how they might help you accomplish these goals.

03

PLANNING MEETING(S)

We review the results of planning, compared to your current expected results, so you can clearly see if there’s an expected positive change in outcome. This may take several meetings depending upon the complexity of your situation.

04

IMPLEMENTATION & MONITORING

If you have chosen to work with us, we follow the step plan for the implementation of the recommendations. We then schedule follow up appointments for the next year for us to review the progress of the strategy and to make any adjustments if needed.
