Retirement Planning

Know when you can retire, and how the paychecks keep coming after you do.

Whether retirement is twenty years away or twenty months away, the questions are the same. How much is enough? When should I claim Social Security? Which account do I draw from first? What happens if the market drops the year I retire?

You have spent decades saving. Retirement planning is how you turn those savings into an income you can count on.

What a retirement plan with FFG covers

  • Your number

    What your lifestyle costs, and what your savings can reasonably support.

  • Income

    Where each month's money will come from: Social Security, pensions, investment accounts and other sources.

  • Timing

    When to retire, when to claim Social Security, and how to handle required minimum distributions.

  • Taxes

    Which accounts to draw from, and in what order, so you keep more of what you saved.

  • Health care

    Bridging the gap to Medicare and planning for long-term care.

  • The unexpected

    How your plan holds up through market declines, inflation and a longer life than you planned for.

Why work with a fiduciary on this

Retirement is when advice matters most and product pitches are most common. As a fee-only fiduciary, FFG is legally bound to act in your best interest. We are not paid to sell you an annuity or a fund. We are paid to give you advice that fits your plan.
