Retirement Planning Made Easy: RMDs, Roth IRAs & Social Security

A “one-size-fits all” approach to financial planning is never the answer. That’s why on the eighth episode of Retirement Planning Made Easy, Brian P. Nauman, Brad N. Nauman, and Lucas G. Dengler wanted to elaborate on some of the topics they had touched on in previous episodes beginning with an in-depth discussion on Roths and how they can be extremely powerful tools when it comes to reducing taxes in retirement. They continued the conversation by providing more clarity when it comes to our current historically low tax rate landscape and how working with a financial team that has your best interests in mind is the best way to take advantage of the present, so that you can best reduce your tax burdens in the future. Things like Roth Conversions, if it makes sense in your specific plan, on top of additional tax-efficient strategies could help go a long way in helping you achieve your ultimate retirement goals.

At The Advisory Group when working with clients we push them to proactively plan for the future they envision with products that make sense for them, rather than just selecting services for the sake of adding items to their portfolio. When a plan is put in place that considers tax efficiencies, income, retirement accounts, Social Security, and risk, concerns start to dissipate and the future becomes much clearer.

On top of this, the team hammered home the importance of diversifying portfolios with strategies that allow you to reduce risk, while also continuing to grow. This typically comes from continued communication with your financial team to and through retirement.

Additional items covered in this episode:

  • Importance of updating estate plans.
  • Differences between wills & trusts.
  • Strategies for ALL types of retirees.
  • And Much More!

The biggest takeaway from the episode is that maximizing the true potential of one’s portfolio comes from the constant assessing and updating of the plan in place. As we evolve, so do our needs and what once worked may become obsolete the further we get in life. That’s why we highly recommend getting in touch with your financial team and coming up with a cadence that makes sense to both parties, so that you can enjoy life and reap the rewards that come with it!
