What is Retirement?
As an advisor, retirement means distributing everything you have saved. You spend the money you saved throughout your working years to fund the last half of your life; doing all the things you dreamed about. On the surface, there doesn’t seem to be a lot to it; you withdraw what you have saved. Easy peasy.
Except it is far from it. There is the order of withdrawals to consider, the Required Minimum Distributions, and the tax issues that are created because of it. There are also the goals, the big expenditures you will need, and the unexpected expenditures that always come up. How does all this fit into your retirement? Do you and your advisor have a plan? Does your portfolio fit into your plan and are you comfortable with the level of risk you are taking to meet the goals of your plan?
At CochranMickels Retirement Specialist, we're here to guide you through every step of your retirement journey. Our name reflects our expertise in this area. Forty-five percent of our clients are already in the distribution phase, while the rest are preparing for the transition from work to retirement.
