From Questions to Confidence: Helping John & Jane Plan Their Retirement Strategy

The years around retirement are some of the most important — and rewarding — financial planning stages of your life.
With your income temporarily lower before required minimum distributions and Social Security begin, it’s a critical window to minimize lifetime taxes, optimize withdrawals, and set yourself up for long-term financial success.
Through proactive planning, you can take full advantage of this unique opportunity and retire with greater confidence and clarity.

John & Jane's Story

Age: 65 and 63

Overview: John and Jane had spent decades building their careers and saving diligently. As retirement approached, though, they found themselves overwhelmed with uncertainty: When should they claim Social Security? How should they draw down their retirement accounts? Would they be able to afford health insurance before Medicare?

With so many moving parts — and no clear roadmap — they wanted a trusted financial planner who could help simplify their options, minimize taxes, and create a plan they could feel confident about.
