SERVICES

Family and Personal Essentials

My mid-career and mid-life clients often ask me:

“Am I doing the right things to prepare for my kids’ education, or an emergency? Am I putting enough into my retirement plan? What about the gaggle of 401(k)s I have from former employers?”

I can help you:

  • Identify and prioritize risks and opportunities
  • Look for ways to minimize taxes and optimize investments
  • Find practical approaches to achieving personal and family financial goals

Then, as an experienced financial coach, I can help you get and stay on track.

Retirement Ahead

“Can I afford to retire? When should I take Social Security? What is my best option for Medicare? What about annuities? Would long-term care insurance be a good choice for me?”

I’ll help you explore your options and find what’s right for you:

  • Create cash flow projections for the years ahead, including all knowable sources of income and expenses
  • Sort through your options for retirement income and health care services
