We have found, too often, the answer to the question of whether an individual has a retirement plan is “Yes, I regularly contribute to my 401K plan.” We believe there is a real problem with that answer.

The problem comes from the difference between the words attention and intention. While some believe that contributing to a 401K is paying attention to one’s retirement needs, the activity falls short of answering the most fundamental question about retirement planning:“Will I have enough to retire on?” Having enough has everything to do with being intentional by projecting how much it will take to retire and determining how much one has to save in order to reach that goal.

The same can be said for college planning. Too few people have done their homework (pun intended) to determine what it will take to put “Junior” through college. Meanwhile, they put two hundred dollars into a college fund every time “Junior” has a birthday. Again, the focus is on attention or activity and not intention or planning.

75%

of Americans nearing retirement have less than $30,000 in their retirement accounts.Almost half of middle-class workers, 49 percent, will be poor or near poor in retirement. Are you just another statistic or will you do what it takes to beat the statistics?

Answers to Complicated Questions

Our team faces two common questions: “Will I have enough?” and “Do I have any financial blind spots?” We will do our best to make sure you have confidence in your financial future.

Retirement Questions

While our projection will be based on your vision and expectations, we will also factor in the effect of inflation and taxes. This will help in determining the size of your retirement needs and ensure that your contributions lead you to your target.

College Planning

We have access to current college tuition and room & board information at schools across the country. Based on this information and the projected rate of inflation for higher education, we can help you determine what it will take to send your child to the school of their choice. With this, we can provide a custom savings plan that will help enable you to accumulate enough to send “Junior” to college.
