PLANNING DURING RETIREMENT

Jack and Rebecca have adult children raising families of their own in the Austin, TX metro area. It is important to Jack and Rebecca to spend retirement years making memories with their family.

Jack and Rebecca are currently in the last month of their company’s health care plan and need to make decisions for healthcare prior to reaching Medicare.

Jack and Rebecca wish to give back to organizations that help take care of their community. 

Jack and Rebecca’s retirement funds include their living trust, 401(k)s, IRAs, and Jack’s company pension plan.

Jack and Rebecca need help determining when to start Social Security. While some of their friends claimed Social Security at age 62, Jack and Rebecca recently learned that only 4% of retirees claim Social Security at the financially optimal time¹.

With retirement just beginning, Jack and Rebecca are not sure which decisions are best to make. They value peace of mind from a fiduciary financial advisor.

Jack and Rebecca weren’t sure where to start, so they reached out to Safe Landing Financial (SLF) for a complimentary introduction meeting to plan during retirement. 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 Jack and Rebecca reach financial peace of mind.

SLF provides Jack and Rebecca with confidence in reaching their goals from visualizing and having conversations regarding their customized financial plan.

SLF shows how to consider tax-efficient retirement income and ensure a high probability of success for funds lasting throughout Jack and Rebecca’s lifetime. 
• SLF determines an appropriate investment strategy based on Jack and Rebecca’s financial goals and risk tolerance. Investment fees have been reduced with SLF now managing investments. Jack and Rebecca now have an asset allocation and rebalancing strategy tracking to their goals.
