Approaching Retirement
Important Steps Before Retirement
You have worked hard for many years and now it’s time to start planning for the next phase of your life. In Retirement, most of your earned income will disappear and be replaced with income from your assets. Some of the most common questions our clients have are:
- Do I have enough money saved to recreate my current lifestyle for the rest of my life?
- What is the impact of retirement taxation on income?
- What is my practice worth and how do I sell it?
- How do I know if my money is invested properly?
- How long does my money need to last?
