Q: Why do I need a retirement planner?

A retirement planner helps you in making your retirement life run smoothly. They also help in identifying various sources of income, estimating the expenses, implementing a savings program, and helps in asset management. The major focus of a Retirement Planner is to estimate future cash flows and assets management.

Q: What does a retirement planner do?

A Retirement Planner gives you a clear understanding of the financial assets that you are aggregating along with other resources that you have such as Pensions, Social Security, Part-time work, Home Equity, etc. In this way, they help you transform these income sources to become a future asset/regular source of income that will help you in your retirement days.

Q: How much does a retirement planner cost?

Different Retirement planners charge differently. They may charge on an hourly basis, a quarterly or annual retainer fee, a percentage of assets that they manage for you, in the form of Commissions, a fixed fee to run a retirement plan. You should always ask the prospective retirement planner for a simple clarification of how they want to get compensated.

While moving closer to retirement, the focus shifts to savings. However, without solid retirement planning, the transition into life after paid work ends can be confusing and seem uncertain. At this crossroad, you would find yourself battling a few 'life' questions such as:

1. Is it the right time to retire?

2. Will I be able to lead a decent lifestyle with my current savings?

3. How much money should I withdraw from my investments so that I have enough money left in my account?

4. How to handle my 401k rollover and IRA?

A retirement planner can help you walk through this journey of planning your finances. A retirement financial planner can answer all your doubts and build financial strategies.
