Eric and Kelly lack clarity and a financial plan for retirement. They are motivated to organize their financial life.
They aren’t entirely sure when they want to “retire”. However, they are not sure if they want to continue working for the same company until age 65. They want to better understand when they can leave their high-earning careers, whether that’s to pursue an early retirement, a sabbatical, or other career opportunities.
Eric and Kelly need help making a financial plan for retirement. They don’t want for every day to be Saturday. Instead, they are planning to retire and enjoy financial independence without the need to work.
Eric is an account executive and Kelly is a distinguished engineer in Silicon Hills, Austin, TX.
Eric and Kelly earn mid-six-figure incomes, save aggressively for their retirement and investment accounts, have no debt outside of their home mortgage, and have protected themselves with adequate insurance. Kelly has been fortunate to earn additional compensation with restricted stock units (RSUs) making up about 40% of their investments.
Eric and Kelly envision spending their retirement years making memories with their family. They want the option to retire early. However, they don’t see themselves quitting work forever due to their passion for the career they have built. Maybe down the road, they will use their skills in a different way to help other industries.
With retirement on their mind, they value having a fiduciary financial advisor guide them to make the best decisions with their money. Eric and Kelly aren’t retiring tomorrow. They want to know when they can and how they can live comfortably.
Eric and Kelly weren’t sure where to start, so they reached out to Safe Landing Financial (SLF) for a complimentary introduction meeting for planning to retire on their terms. As a trusted advisor, SLF starts every new relationship by asking questions and listening to understand their unique financial situation. Here is how SLF helped Eric and Kelly reach financial clarity.
