Retirement Planning
Retirement Planning
in Today's World
Retirement planning now encompasses considerations that were once non-existent. Notably, longevity has increased—people retiring today may enjoy upwards of 20 years in retirement, unlike the 15 years expected in the past. This shift introduces new challenges, from sustaining a lifetime income to addressing health care and estate planning needs. At Aventail Wealth Management, we guide you through these multifaceted dimensions to secure a comfortable and financially stable retirement.
The reality of a prolonged retirement emphasizes the necessity of a reliable income stream that endures. As retirement spans could extend to 20 years or more, maintaining your lifestyle becomes paramount. We focus on strategies that not only preserve but also potentially enhance your cost of living adjustments over time.
Addressing Health Care Needs
Increased longevity brings a higher likelihood of health-related challenges. While Medicare offers a foundational safety net, it may fall short, especially for chronic conditions. Our approach includes planning for long-term care to safeguard against the financial impact of serious health issues, ensuring peace of mind.
Sophisticated Estate Planning
We help our clients work through the intricacies of organizing their financial affairs for the future. We collaborate with legal professionals who specialize in these areas to ensure our clients' wishes are accurately reflected in their estate plans. Through comprehensive discussions and careful analysis of their unique situation, we assist clients in making informed decisions about inheritance, asset protection, and legacy planning. After the estate plan documents are created, we help our clients with the ongoing administration of the estate plan so that future goals are realized.
Funding Your Retirement
IRAs: Traditional vs. Roth
The choice between a Traditional IRA and a Roth IRA is pivotal, each offering distinct tax advantages. Our guidance helps clarify these options, ensuring your retirement savings strategy aligns with your financial goals and tax situation.
Diverse Sources of Retirement Income
A well-structured retirement plan leans on various income sources: Social Security, employer-sponsored plans, and personal savings. We emphasize maximizing qualified plans and savings, positioning Social Security as a foundational but supplementary income source.
Understanding Social Security & Qualified Plans
The landscape of Social Security and employer-sponsored plans is ever-evolving. We offer insights into navigating these complexities, ensuring decisions are aligned with your broader retirement goals. Whether it's optimizing Social Security benefits or rolling over a 401(k) into an IRA, our expertise is at your disposal.
