Paul’s independence is vital to delivering objective, unbiased recommendations. He specializes in creating customized strategic retirement plans unique to each client.

our approach to retirement income

You’ve spent a career generating income. Now it’s time for your accumulated wealth to generate that income for you.  We create plans that help you address your goals, the rising cost of living, how your investments need to change as you age, and any programs you should be using to your advantage.

OUR GOAL IS TO ANSWER THE BIGGEST QUESTIONS, INCLUDING:



Annual required income is the starting point – but that isn’t always obvious. We begin by documenting all current and future expenses anticipated to find a yearly number.


Discretionary is must-have income. This is all your expenses that must be provided for first. These expenses include household living expenses such as electric, water, food, taxes, and health insurance.

Non-discretionary are wants and wishes. Vacations, gifts, charitable giving, and loans to family members are some non-discretionary expenses.


Unexpected death or divorce can really impact your plan and possible success in sustainable income during retirement. Understanding social security claiming strategies and possible pension options are critical to your long-term planning.


Not planning for rising costs of basic living and health care can really catch up to you when looking 20-30 years forward in retirement. Planning for rising costs must be considered. 


Future taxes are unknown, but proper tax planning that maximizes the advantages of strategies that are currently available is an important part of a strategy that keeps your income in your pocket.  



While all of these ideas go into the planning of your future retirement goals, it is important to note that in order to keep you on track, these plans need monitoring to make sure your long-term needs can be reached.
