Retirement Planning
Individual Retirement Plans
These include Roth IRAs, traditional IRAs, and rollover IRAs. Each of these plans offers different tax advantages and withdrawal rules, allowing individuals to choose the best fit based on their retirement goals and tax situation.
Employer-Sponsored Retirement Plans
These plans, such as 401(k), 403(b), pension, and simple plans, are typically offered by employers, often at a low or no cost. They offer various benefits, including employer match contributions and tax advantages, that can help employees save for retirement.
Optimizing Social Security Benefits
An overwhelming 89 percent of US workers are covered by Social Security, which plays a crucial role in retirement planning. However, many individuals do not fully leverage their Social Security benefits due to inadequate planning. It is crucial to guide clients in optimizing their retirement strategies to maximize their Social Security benefits, enriching their post-retirement lifestyle and financial well-being.
