1. Asset Protection / Retirement Income Planning
We specialize in helping retirees protect their retirement assets, while continuing to move forward. Traditionally, if you wanted to achieve strong gains, you had to incur higher risk. And if you wanted more safety, you had to accept very low rates of return. That is no longer the case. Now you can give yourself the opportunity for higher gains, without any of the usual risk. Contact our office to learn about newer alternatives that are perfect for today's volatile environment.
Having worked your whole life to build your retirement assets, it is critical to implement the right plan, to support your desired standard of living - for as long as you live. All available assets should be structured within the context of a fail-safe plan, that provides for: growth, flexibility and guarantees. Watch this quick video, to learn about our approach, to retirement income strategies. |

2. IRA/401k Rollover and Tax Reduction Strategies
Most people don't realize it, but the greatest danger to your retirement assets is not market volatility. It's actually the long term impact of state and federal taxes on your largest qualified accounts, i.e. IRAs, 401k's, 403b's etc. Use our Retirement Tax Bill calculator, to see and better understand your potential tax bill in retirement. Then call to discuss and learn how a few simple steps can reduce your tax liability - significantly.

3. IRMAA and Medical/Long Term Care (LTC) Costs
It goes without saying that medical and LTC costs continue to rise substantially. However, directly related to the increasing cost of care, is the potentially increasing cost of your Medicare premiums. Based on newer government income brackets (IRMAA), the higher your taxable income in retirement, the higher the cost of your Medicare premiums - which in turn can directly impact your Social Security payments.
Therefore a strategy to address the increasing costs of care and premiums, should be front and center in any retirement plan. Call us to learn how we can illustrate these projected Medicare premium costs, the impact on your SS payments and options to address the problem.

4. Kaizen and the Power of Leveraging for Retirement Saving
Kaizen is a one of a kind retirement planning strategy, that utilizes the power of leveraged financing, to give you far greater tax-free income in retirement, than you could ever achieve with typical qualified retirement plans, i.e. IRAs, 401ks, 403bs, etc. This plan is ideal for those who are high income earners, but may feel that they're behind in their savings plan and/or want to make sure that they'll be able to retain their same standard of living in retirement.
Contact our office directly, for additional information and access to the ILIA planning software - to help you see exactly what you can accomplish with leveraging. Not only can it display side by side comparisons to other retirement plans, but you can run any number of scenarios, to determine your best savings strategy.
