It is time to gather any information relevant to your financial situation in preparation for your initial meeting. This includes savings statements, 401k statements , defined benefit plans, non qualified assets, and insurance policies. 2 MEET WITH AN ADVISOR. Go over financial goals and expectations of working with a professional. Make sure your advisor understands those goals and you feel comfortable in developing a working relationship. Share what you are comfortable, if it takes more than an initial meeting to build trust that is okay. Never feel pressure to decide quickly, this decision effects the next phase of your life. 3 FOLLOW UP Go over a tailored plan with timeline of goals, cash flow analysis, and projection of impending retirement. This plan is a work in progress and just as life changes so must a financial plan. Be clear what you expect from your advisor. This should be a long lasting relationship built on trust. * COMMON QUESTIONS REASSURANCE. MAKING SURE YOU ARE ON TRACK AND HAVE A PLAN. EMPLOYER SPONSORED PLANS AM I SAVING ENOUGH?

IRA ROLLOVERS INVESTING IN YOUR FUTURE You've retired or switched jobs and need to evaluate what you should do with the money you've contributed. An IRA rollover lets you control that savings, derive income, and chose what type of investor you want to be. IRA's can be less restrictive than employee contribution plans which gives limitless options for different types of investors. INSURANCE USING A THIRD PARTY TO INSURE YOUR RETIREMENT Insurance isn't the right choice for everyone, but when used strategically it is a very effective tool in financial planning. From 20 year term to long term care, insurance can provide peace of mind. * CONTACT US READY FOR YOUR FUTURE?
