Planning is about YOU, not about how someone else can organize your affairs. Your values, goals and visions for the future are an integral part of life planning process. Most of us need a map to help us arrive comfortably at our destination.

Good planning is very complicated and usually requires a team approach involving your CPA and attorney. It also requires you to think through some issues and concerns you may have put off or did not want to deal with. A collaborative planning process requires Client effort and input on many issues that boil up feelings of uneasiness or dread.

Since many potential Clients are from the “do it yourself” generation your planning may be pieced together or out-of-date. The complexity of transitioning to retirement and creating a solid exit plan can achieve significant savings so saving a few dollars in fees may not achieve a good cost/benefit ratio. The cost of an uncoordinated or outdated plan can be enormous. Cadre Financial attempts to make the planning process exciting. Many plans languish since the Client never examined and clarified their values, goals and visions so that everyone involved in the planning process was clear on the Client’s objectives.

The good news is that your efforts expended on clarifying values, goals and your dreams for the future can save you consider time and fees from the necessary professionals involved. We will help you focus on your future transitions, possibly turning your greatest asset, your experience, into part-time income and retirement fulfillment? The key areas are:

• Expenses and income resulting from your future activities that will be driven by your vision.
• Realistic expectation of your longevity – the greatest determinate of your future requirements
• Risk assessment of health insurance and long-term care cost assumptions
• Realistic future assumption about your tax liability on untaxed retirement benefits
