How It Works

How:

The process of retirement planning Trenton MI is a five-step program. First, we consider that everyone has a different background, a different story, a different budget, different dreams, and goals of how they interpret what retirement will look like for them.

Below are the five steps we use to help determine the best financial planning retirement process for our clients:

Before beginning any journey, knowing where you’re going and what to expect along the way is best. Our first step of the process is unique because it’s all about you and your vision of retirement. Together we’ll clarify where you want to go, help identify your strengths and opportunities, and consider potential dangers and threats to your financial journey. We like to use something called an income for Life report. This report will identify any income cliffs you might have with your risk level, Social Security, pension, and Investment.

The first step in retirement planning Trenton MI is to define what your ideal retirement looks like. This involves considering your current financial situation and goals and any potential risks or threats you may face along the way. At Safe Haven Wealth Management, we use an Income for Life Report to help our clients identify any income cliffs they might have with their Social Security, pension, investments, and risk levels.

To begin defining your ideal retirement, consider how much money you will need each month to maintain your desired lifestyle. Also, consider the best time to start drawing from Social Security. What are other sources of income available such as pensions or annuities? How much do you need to save per month or year in order for it all to add up? Finally, you must take into consideration inflation rates and potential market volatility when formulating a plan that works for you. Doing so can help ensure your plan remains viable over the long term, even if there are some bumps.

Finally, make sure that any plans account for unexpected changes, such as health issues or job loss, which could affect your ability to save or draw on assets during retirement.

We understand that assessing your situation is an important step in the retirement planning Trenton MI process. That’s why our second step involves taking a closer look at your financial information to identify any potential issues or concerns.

Our assessment begins by looking at all sources of income and expenses and any debts you may have. We’ll also review recent tax returns to ensure everything is in order and up-to-date. This helps us determine if there are any areas where adjustments can be made to help improve your overall financial picture. We’ll also consider life events such as marriage, divorce, children, or job changes which could affect how much money you’d need for retirement and when it should be saved.
