Navigate the complex decisions of financial planning with less stress, more confidence and better outcomes.

Planning can be complex, but it shouldn’t be overwhelming. Need help with one piece, several parts or all of it? We can help.

Income in retirement
Where will your money come from in retirement? How do you make sure you don’t outlive your money? Create a reliable income stream, by maximizing your Social Security benefits and carefully planning when to tap other sources such as 401(k)s, IRAs, CDs or annuities.

Taxes
How do you make sure your income in retirement doesn’t get eaten up by taxes? Because income sources are taxed differently, strategizing your withdrawals is necessary to avoid tax pitfalls, such as being taxed at a higher rate.

Health care, Medicare and extended-care costs
Health care is one of the largest expenses in retirement. Extended care — when you need help performing everyday activities such as bathing, feeding, or taking medications — is not considered medical care, so Medicare and supplemental Medicare insurance plans don’t cover these expenses. A sound retirement plan should consider Medicare and extended-care expenses.

 Investments 
Investments such as mutual funds, bonds and alternative investments can play a big role in meeting your expenses and lifestyle in retirement. Having a healthy mix of asset protection, guarantees, and at-risk dollars may help you achieve your goals.*

Asset allocation or diversification does not guarantee investment returns and does not eliminate the risk of loss. Financial planning including investment advice and recommendations, if requested, is provided by a securities licensed professional. A separate agreement and related disclosures will be provided if you decide to proceed with an individual professional.


Retirement risks
How do you protect what you’ve built? First, identify risks that could chip away at your retirement plan. These include longevity (outliving your money), inflation, and sequence of return risk (receiving lower returns on your investments when you need to make withdrawals for your retirement income). Your Financial Coach can help you understand different strategies to address these risks.

Leaving your mark
Do you want to leave an inheritance to your children? Donate money to a charity? Decide while you’re alive how you want your estate distributed after your death. Failing to plan for your own death may leave your life partner or other loved ones in financial trouble. Plan now for the legacy you want to leave.

Wanted to let you know I met with RPC last week and it was really great. I think these 1:1 consultations are super helpful especially as someone who is just oblivious and anxious with anything finance related. Thankful for RPC for organizing, I really appreciate it!

Struggling to balance solo parenting and a full-time job, I found myself neglecting my finances. It was a relief when I discovered RPC through the financial services provided by my employer.
