We’re here to answer all your questions regarding your finances so you can better prepare for your future.

How Much Should I Be Saving?

How much money you need to save depends on your financial situation and your goals. Most sources recommend saving 10 to 15% of your income for retirement. If you want to retire early or finance a trip around the world, you may need to save more. How much you need to save also depends on how much time you have left until retirement. 

Am I on Track to Retire?

Without knowing your specific situation, we can’t answer this question. It depends on the size of your assets, when you want to retire, and what your living expenses are. Call us to schedule an appointment with one of our advisors, and we’ll be happy to determine if you’re on track to reach your goals.

How Does My 401(k) Work?

A 401(k) is an employer-sponsored retirement plan that allows you to contribute pre-tax income. Therefore, any money you contribute to your 401(k) up to the maximum allowed under IRS guidelines reduces your taxable income. The investments then grow tax-deferred until you retire and start withdrawing income. The income from your 401(k) is then taxed as regular income. 

Why Do I Need to Consider Insurance with My Financial Plan?

Insurance is an important aspect of financial planning, because it serves as a protection for you, your family, and your assets. For example, life insurance can replace your income if you happen to pass away unexpectedly, and long-term care insurance protects your assets when you have medical expenses not covered by insurance. 

What Is the Difference between Asset Allocation & Diversification?

Asset allocation is the breakdown of your investments into the different classes. For example, you may have real estate, stocks, bonds, and other financial assets. Diversification is all about not putting all your eggs in one basket, which would be investing only in one type of company or industry. Proper asset allocation considers your time horizon and risk tolerance, while diversification is important to reduce your overall investment risk.
