Your L.I.F.E. Plan
Your planning strategy starts with establishing your unique financial philosophy, your "Why" — the true meaning and purpose for your money in retirement.
- You will require liquid funds set aside for emergencies and opportunities. Having 6-12 months worth of readily-available living expenses provides financial confidence and peace of mind.
- Consistent, reliable income is a necessity, regardless of what happens next in the economy or stock market.
- Planning for flexibility accounts for inflation and unpredictability, delivering confidence that you are able to easily adjust your strategy.
- An estate plan ensures the assets you have will pass on according to your wishes. This step outlines clear objectives of what you want to leave behind, and how — including wills, trusts and health care.
Finally, Tax planning is the common thread throughout each of the four planning pillars. It provides you with the confidence to know that you (and your heirs) will keep more of your hard-earned dollars.
