FAQs

How much money do I need to retire?

Unfortunately, there is no magic number here!  This depends on your long-term goals and future income like social security, pension or retirement benefits and any other income streams.  We can assist you with assessing if your long-term retirement plans are sustainable.

 
What employer sponsored savings accounts or financial benefits should I take advantage of?

We can assist you in determining how your 401(k) or other employer retirement plan fits into your broader retirement plan.  We will also work with you to assess how your plan is impacted by other employer provided benefits such as flexible spending accounts, health savings accounts and employee equity incentives.  Remember, if your employer offers contribution matching to your retirement plan, it is generally advisable to fund enough to at least get the full employer match.

 
Where should I take my retirement withdrawals from?

The general approach for the most tax-efficient order of withdrawals from retirement savings is to draw down your taxable accounts, followed by tax deferred accounts such as IRA’s or retirement plans, finally the non-taxable accounts such as Roth IRA’s.  however, your situation is unique and this may not be the best advice for you.  We’d be happy to assist you in this analysis.
