We feel that NOW is the time to STOP and put your current strategy to the test

to see just how survivable your retirement nest egg really is.

So how do you become “RETIREMENT READY”?

It starts by increasing your knowledge with our 12 Key Questions Every Retiree Must Answer.

You need answers today that are right for you, based on your unique set of circum-stances that take into account the hopes, dreams and goals of the retirement you’ve envisioned.

The 12 Key Questions Action Guide is part of your Retirement Readiness Kit,

which also includes an invitation to receive a no cost, no obligation Retirement Income Analysis…. prepared just for you.

Why is having a Retirement Income Analy-sis so important? Listen closely…

According to Wells Fargo…those that had a written retirement plan in place…accu-mulate 3x as much in retirement assets as those that don’t.Source: Wells Fargo Study. Middle Class Americans Face A Retirement Shutdown. Oct 23, 2013

Do YOU have a written retirement income plan in place?

Notice, I said INCOME plan….not an INVESTMENT plan.

They’re not the same, and actually, they’re quite different.

An INVESTMENT plan….It’s designed to grow your nest egg in the ACCUMULA-TION phase…before retirement.

A Retirement INCOME plan, however…It’s designed for when you begin DRAWING DOWN your nest egg in the SPENDING phase of your retirement.

Have YOU overlooked this critical planning tool for your retirement?

The switch from a retirement savings plan to a retirement income plan is one of the most challenging aspects of retirement planning.

And why our Retirement Income Analysis can be SO instrumental in helping make that transition.

It’s much like the testing done by various car manufacturers.

With crash testing, they’re able to make vehicles safer by understanding how they’ll respond under adverse conditions.

By mathematically testing your retirement income strategy, you’ll see how it performs over time as well, under various stresses, such as the need for rising income in re-tirement, inflation, longevity, rising health care, social security and income taxes throughout retirement.

That testing may expose possible problems with your plan

so you can make the necessary adjust-ments now…

Changes that can help you to get more value from ALL of your retirement accounts.

Do you realize the retirement challenges you have today, that your parents never had to deal with?

Retirement planning for their generation meant a going away party, a Gold watch and a nice pension with a guaranteed pay-check for life.

When you think of YOUR retirement…I’m sure many of these images come to mind, but regardless of what you envision your retirement to be…

To get there…YOU’RE RESPONSIBLE to not only protect the nest egg you’ve worked so hard to accumulate…

But you’ll need to grow those assets

to generate the maximum income…an income stream that will last your lifetime.

Are your worried about the Rising Cost of Health Care?

Today, that tops the list of retirement wor-ries, and even more so among the affluent. Source: Merrill Lynch. 2013 Americans’ Perspectives on New Retirement Realities Study.

Nearly half of high net worth individuals…are “terrified” how rising health care costs could decimate years of retirement plan-ning.Source: Nationwide Financial Survey, May 7, 2012

To be RETIREMENT READY, you should have a meaningful discussion NOW about how to maximize your retirement income

to meet the rising cost of healthcare.

Contrary to marketing and sales pitches that suggest there’s a “MAGIC NUMBER” that will guarantee financial security.

The truth is that you need to get the great-est value from the money you’ve accumu-lated over your lifetime!

Alarming studies show 60% of new retirees will outlive their financial assets if they at-tempt to maintain their pre-retirement stan-dard of living. Source: Fox Business. Why Planning for Re-tirement Is So Hard. Ernst & Young Study on Fox Business. Jul 5, 2012

A RETIREMENT INCOME ANALYSIS may help you avoid becoming another retirement “Statistic”!

Does YOUR current income plan take a realistic approach to your LONGEVITY?

It should…If you reach age 65 in good health, you’ve got a 50% chance ofliving to 85 and 88, and a 25% chance of living to 92 or 94. Source: Fidelity.com. How Much Do You Need To Retire? Jan 30, 2014

RETIREMENT READINESS is KNOWING your retirement income stream will also last that long…an income stream you can’t outlive.

Do YOU know how much you can safely spend from your nest egg each year, so you don’t run out of money?

Studies show the majority of retirees under-estimate THEIR expenses in retirement,

putting them at risk of outliving their retire-ment savings?Source: The Street.com. Americans Retiring Early, Then Running Out of Money. Nov 11, 2013

RETIREMENT READINESS begins with knowing what your actual expenses in retire-ment might be

AND then testing your strategy to see if your retirement nest egg can safely pro-vide for your needs!

Have YOU built a “cost of living” increase into your retirement income plan?

Today, it’s irresponsible not to include it… You would expect things to cost more in the future, especially with the prospect of higher taxes

and increased healthcare costs.

NOW is the time to get the facts on how these higher costs will impact YOUR retire-ment income planning!

Do YOU know the proper strategy to MAXI-MIZE YOUR Social Security?

Navigating your way through Social Secu-rity so you select the right benefits at the right time is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll ever make.

Social Security is enormously complex. This is just one of many issues we ad-dress in our Retirement Income Analysis.

And there’s no cost and no obligation to do it.

To be RETIREMENT READY….

you’ll want to make your money go further by controlling risk, reducing costly fees, and minimizing income taxes throughout retire-ment!

You should also understand how market downturns today are much riskier… now that you depend on your nest egg to provide your retirement income!

The lessons learned from the financial wake up call of the recent recessions,

has amplified the dangers and the very real risks of aggressive investment strategies.

And to complete your RETIREMENT READINESS, you’ll also want to know the most tax efficient method to transfer any assets left over to your heirs.

The challenges facing today’s retirees are numerous. And this is where we’d like to help.

If you’ve hit 45, 55, 65, even 75 years of age,

whether you’re retired or close to it… we’d like to help in your goal of becoming RE-TIREMENT READY.

And in addition, they have more income in retirement as well.Source: Forbes. Why The Stakes Are Higher With Retirement Income Planning Than Retirement Savings. April 10, 2014

It’s your Social Security…but what you don’t know CAN hurt you.

And this is just ONE of many issues we address…

But…as you’re about to see, having a Retirement Income Analysis prepared SOONER is much better than LATER...And here’s WHY.

Let’s assume you’re flying from Los Angeles to New York City, but they’ve only put enough fuel onboard to get you somewhere over Chicago.

When would be the best time to address that shortfall?

When you’re 30,000 feet in the air, somewhere over Chicago, two-thirds of the way to your desingation, but you’re out of fuel… Or would it be better to address it while you’re still on the ground in LA before you take off?

The answer is pretty obvious., isn’t it?

Well…When would be the best time to address a retirement shortfall?

When you’re two-thirds of the way into your retirement, and you’ve depleted your nest egg and run out of money, but you could easily live another 10 or 15 years….

Or would it be better to address it while you’re still working, before you retire, or shortly after you retirement, so you’ve got plenty of time to course correct and make adjustments along the way.

The answer is just as obvious, isn’t it?

Whether your already retired or very close to it…

NOW is the time

to have a Retirement Income Analysis prepared just for you…

based on your unique set of circumstances,

that takes into account the hopes, dreams and goals of the retirement you envision.

Your Retirement Income Analysis

is created with one goal in mind…To help you get the most from your retirement savings.

Well, hopefully at this point, you’re sold on the need to have a Retirement Income Analysis and you agree that having it prepared SOONER is much better than LATER. So let’s walk through and explain the process of creating it.

Here are the 6 steps we’ll go through with you in preparing your complimentary Retirement Income Analysis.

Step 1: We’ll ask you to articulate what your portfolio is intended to do, and describe what you’d like your ideal retirement to be… This way we both understand the real purpose of your retirement income planning!

Does the retirement you envision include any of these activities?

Step 2: We will help you to inventory all of your assets, savings and investments into one simple to understand report.

In order to create a sustainable Retirement Income Plan, we’ll help you understand the pros and cons of each of your assets such as these.

Step 3: We’ll help you calculate to see what your expenses in the retirement YOU envision…might be.

Some expenses will increase in retirement, while others may decrease, but we’ll bring these into clear focus, in addition to addressing rising health care costs and how to plan for it.

Step 4: We’ll total up your income in retirement from all sources to get a clear retirement income picture.

In retirement, you’ll likely have several sources of income such as these…and we’ll detail it all in one easy to understand report.

Step 5: The first 4 steps will help us determine

if you have a projected retirement surplus or a projected shortfall, and if so, how big?

Step 6: If there is a projected retirement shortfall, we’ll help identify the various options available and explain the pros and cons of each, and the trade offs you’ll need to consider.

Would you benefit from a Retirement Income Analysis?

Since there is no cost and no obligation, you really have nothing to lose,

but quite possibly much to gain….How much?

According to Wells Fargo….3x as much.

We’d like to invite you NOW to receive a no cost, no obligation Retirement Income Analysis prepared just for you.
