Income gap analysis

Map essential and discretionary spending against guaranteed and portfolio income.

Social Security timing

When to claim, and how that choice interacts with your other income.

Withdrawal sequencing

The order you draw from taxable, tax-deferred and tax-free accounts changes what you keep.

Downturn protection

Structuring income so a bad market year doesn't force you to sell investments while they're down.

Why it matters

Saving and spending are different disciplines.

The strategies that built your savings are not the ones that protect you once you start spending them. Sequence-of-returns risk, required minimum distributions, Medicare premium thresholds and retirement tax brackets all reward a deliberate plan.

Our approach

Duration Planning: income organized by time.

A Duration Plan divides retirement assets into segments, each responsible for a few years of income. Near-term segments hold conservative assets designed to protect principal; later segments have time to recover from downturns, so a market decline doesn't dictate your income.

What you get

A written income plan, revisited over time.

Your review produces a plan covering which accounts to draw from first, when to claim Social Security, how RMDs will be handled and where guaranteed income fits. You revisit it with your advisor as markets and tax law change.

Next step
