RETIREMENT PLANNING
Prepare for Retirement With Greater Clarity and Confidence
Retirement brings new opportunities—and important financial decisions. Legacy Wealth Concepts helps you evaluate where you stand, understand the choices ahead, and develop a personalized strategy for the retirement you envision.
Retirement Is More Than a Date
PLANNING FOR WHAT COMES NEXT
Turn Years of Preparation Into a Thoughtful Retirement Strategy
A successful transition into retirement involves more than reaching a certain age or account balance. It requires understanding how your savings, investments, Social Security benefits, retirement accounts, insurance coverage, anticipated expenses, and personal goals may work together.
At Legacy Wealth Concepts, we help you look at the complete picture. Whether retirement is several years away, quickly approaching, or already underway, we can help you organize your financial resources and make informed decisions about the years ahead.
Questions We Can Help You Address
UNDERSTANDING YOUR OPTIONS
Retirement Often Begins With the Right Questions
Every retirement is different. Our planning process is designed to help you consider questions such as:
- When can I realistically retire?
- How much income might I need each month?
- How long could my retirement savings last?
- When should I begin taking Social Security?
- What should I do with an old 401(k) or employer retirement plan?
- How should my investments change as retirement approaches?
- How can I prepare for healthcare and long-term care expenses?
- Which accounts should I consider using first for retirement income?
- How could inflation affect my future purchasing power?
- How can I leave a meaningful legacy for my family or community?
- What adjustments may be appropriate if my circumstances or goals change?
We help you examine these questions within the context of your overall financial life—not as isolated decisions.
What Retirement Planning May Include
A COORDINATED APPROACH
Bringing the Pieces of Your Retirement Together
Retirement Readiness
Retirement Income Planning
401(k) and IRA Decisions
We evaluate your current savings, anticipated expenses, retirement timeframe, income needs, and long-term goals to help you understand your present position.
We help you consider how Social Security, pensions, retirement accounts, investments, and other financial resources may work together to support your anticipated income needs.
If you are retiring, changing employers, or holding assets in a former workplace plan, we can help you review the available options and the potential benefits and considerations associated with each.
Social Security Considerations
Investment Strategy
Healthcare and Long-Term Care
We help you evaluate how factors such as your retirement timeline, income needs, life expectancy assumptions, marital status, and other resources may influence your Social Security claiming decision.
Your investment strategy should reflect your goals, timeline, income needs, and comfort with risk. We help you determine whether adjustments should be considered as retirement approaches and continues.
Healthcare can become a significant retirement expense. We help you consider Medicare timing, insurance coverage, potential out-of-pocket costs, and long-term care planning as part of the larger strategy.
Beneficiary and Legacy Planning
Ongoing Plan Reviews
We review beneficiary designations, family goals, charitable intentions, and wealth-transfer considerations while coordinating with qualified legal and tax professionals when appropriate.
Retirement planning does not end when you retire. We continue reviewing your strategy as markets, laws, expenses, family circumstances, and personal priorities evolve.
Career and Retirement Transitions
NAVIGATING AN IMPORTANT CHANGE
Changing Careers or Leaving an Employer?
A retirement offer, layoff, company acquisition, plant transition, or move to a new employer can create several financial decisions at once. You may need to evaluate your workplace retirement account, pension benefits, insurance coverage, stock compensation, severance package, and future income needs.
Legacy Wealth Concepts helps professionals understand the choices available to them and consider how each decision fits into their broader financial plan.
We have particular experience addressing the needs of energy, manufacturing, industrial, and other professionals navigating significant career or retirement transitions.
When leaving an employer, you may have several options for your retirement plan assets. Each option presents different features, costs, services, tax considerations, and potential advantages or disadvantages. Your individual circumstances should be carefully evaluated before making a decision.
