Have you thought about retirement income, or turned those thoughts into a plan? 🎯
October is Financial Planning Month, a timely reminder that intention and preparation aren’t the same. LIMRA research finds that 88% of pre-retirees have thought about retirement income, yet 76% have no plan or spend less than five hours a year planning for it. Only about 4 in 10 work with a financial professional; among those who do, 77% describe themselves as highly prepared.
What could five hours of focused planning include?
• Creating a written retirement income plan
• Reviewing financial protection
• Checking beneficiaries
• Considering a tax-aware withdrawal strategy
A relationship-driven conversation can help turn intentions into next steps. At Powell Wealth Strategists, our 5F’s (Faith, Family, Finances, Fitness, and Fun) keep your priorities at the center. We bring 35+ years of experience to the planning conversation.
YOUR INCOME IS THE ENGINE OF YOUR LEGACY. DON'T LET IT STALL.
