7 Financial Risks to Avoid
​
In our years helping retirees and pre-retirees navigate the twists and turns of their retirement journey, experience has taught us that most retirees will face a few (if not all) of these seven major roadblocks in retirement.
​
As these roadblocks could potentially expose your retirement to unnecessary danger, we often refer to them as financial risks. The good news is that the sooner you are aware of these potential risks, the sooner we can help implement strategies to help avoid them.

Longevity Risk
LONGER LIFE, BIGGER RISK. What if you live longer than planned? This could result in greater than anticipated income needs.
Inflation
SAME MONEY, LESS POWER. Your ability to maintain purchasing power can be impacted by increases in the cost of goods and services.
Seq. of Returns
TIMING IS EVERYTHING. Market volatility may pose major challenges when withdrawing money from retirement assets.
Withdrawal Rate
MAKING MONEY LAST. When you take money out of your savings for retirement, you want to be sure you aren’t emptying your tank.
Social Security
CHOOSE WISELY. With a multitude of options to choose from on when and how to file for Social Security benefits is paramount.
Healthcare
EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED. Healthcare costs are one of the largest and most costly expenses in retirement.
Taxation
PAY NOW OR PAY LATER. With the national debt rapidly rising, tax rates and rules could change at any point.
EPV
Equivalent portfolio value, or EPV, evaluates how much income one approach can generate versus another.
