the challenge…

When you start thinking about retirement, it’s normal to feel a bit overwhelmed and uncertain. There are so many things to consider, and it can be hard to know where to start. 

Do you find yourself wondering if you have enough money to retire? Are you white-knuckled watching the stock market worried the next downturn may affect your plans? Is the influx of retirement information hitting your mailbox giving you information overload?

You’ve likely spent countless hours searching the internet, retirement calculators, and your company’s HR department but still don’t feel like you have solid answers to the essential questions that would provide you confidence. 

If you can relate, know you are not alone.

the Search for direction

Let’s face it, modern retirees are no longer provided a clear path to follow. This is not the retirement of your parents’ generation. 

In today’s vast jungle of retirement information, even once you know what needs to be done, knowing how to do it can be a real challenge.

After seeing today’s generational shift in retirement play out firsthand, we realized that the problem facing modern retirees is generally not a lack of resources but rather a lack of structure.

START EXPLORING RETIREMENT…

After years of working with modern retirees, we developed Retirement Basecamp™ to help individuals, like you, get started in planning their retirement journey. 

Retirement Basecamp™ is free, self-directed, and takes only about 30 minutes. It’s a great tool to start exploring your retirement options when you’re getting close to retirement age but you’re not quite ready to talk to anyone about it. Retirement Basecamp™ helps you become aware of all the options and risks involved in retirement planning so you can put everything in perspective.

This short online course will start with an introduction to what we call The Three Lessons of Retirement™. These lessons will help you take a shortcut as you prepare.

This free course is for you if… 

  • You are within five years of retirement (or recently retired).
  • You have saved $500,000 or more for retirement. 
  • You feel more confident when you are prepared and have a plan.

*For individuals within this range, the challenge is usually not having enough money to retire, but rather not having a strategic path to make that money work as hard as it can for as long as it can. If you fall outside of this range or are further away from your retirement date, then other strategies may be a better fit for you. Feel free to reach out and we will get you connected with the resources you need. 

In this free, self-directed program you will:

  • Learn what to think about as you approach retirement
  • Get a preview of common options for you to consider when creating retirement income from your resources

  • Understand the risks you will need to address while retirement planning
  • Access a step-by-step framework you can use to create your own retirement plan
