2023 Tax Planning Guide

After a tumultuous 2022, filing your taxes this year could potentially be complicated.

There are many factors that can impact whether your taxes will increase and whether you need to rethink your tax strategy.

The Bucket Strategy Guide

We believe a retirement strategy is about affording the lifestyle you want in your later years. For most of your life, you have likely worked hard to save for your retirement as best you could. But now, it may be about turning those savings into an actionable plan that helps you afford the lifestyle you planned for as safely and efficiently as possible. You’re likely faced with these questions: What do you want your retirement to look like, and how much income do you need each year to make it happen?

Your Guide to Roth IRAs

An IRA is an investment account that you own that typically holds stocks, bonds, mutual funds, ETFs, and more. It is structured and regulated with limitations and tax advantages for using the account to grow a fund that is then used to provide you income in retirement. The Roth IRA is a tax-advantaged retirement account, but some of its tax advantages are structured differently than the Traditional IRA.

Women’s Retirement Planning Guide

They say “men are from Mars and women are from Venus” and their differences carry over into financial planning. In a world where women oftentimes share, or own, the responsibilities of household finances, and often are the major “bread-winner”, it makes sense that you are adequately addressed. There are a disproportionate number of men in the financial space today, so let’s take a moment to address some financial needs unique to women. Since women tend to outlive men, and nearly half of marriages end in divorce, you are often in situations where finances entirely rest on your shoulders.

Read this guide to learn the basics of legacy and estate planning.

Market Volatility – Protecting Your Savings

Planning for retirement is never a “set it and forget it” activity: There are unexpected disasters, market drops, and changing laws that invariably cause retirees to reevaluate their plans of action. Ultimately, there is no way to predict everything that will cause market downturns, such as diseases, natural disasters, or political instability. However, you can prepare yourself for a downturn by having a solid financial plan in place. The most recent bout of market volatility likely won’t be the last you’ll see in your lifetime, so why not have a plan to address future market drops? If you’re concerned about your financial security as you near and enter retirement, assessing your risk tolerance, reevaluating your portfolio, and seeking professional advice could be a good idea.
