Crafting Your Unique Retirement Plan

Written by Cydney Higgins | Mar 1, 2024 11:00:00 AM

Navigating the path to retirement can often seem daunting, but with the right guidance, it can be transformed into an empowering journey towards financial independence. At Exencial, we're committed to more than just helping you meet financial targets; our focus is on providing thoughtful planning to ensure stability and protection against unexpected events that could impact your ideal retired lifestyle. 

Below are a few guiding pillars to keep in mind when creating your retirement plan. Please consult with your financial and tax advisors to best determine plans for your individual circumstances.

Customize Your Retirement Blueprint: Retirement plans should be as unique as the individuals crafting them. Don't settle for a one-size-fits-all strategy. Tailor your plan to your specific objectives, risk preferences and life circumstances. Make your golden years truly your own by customizing your retirement savings and income plans.

Diversify Equity Compensation: For those receiving significant employer stock or equity compensation, risk mitigation is crucial. Over-reliance on your current company's fortunes can put your retirement at risk. A balanced approach might include a mix of stocks, bonds and other investment vehicles to reduce dependence on any single source. We can help you explore diversification strategies to balance your investment exposure and safeguard your future.

Account for Healthcare Costs: Underestimating healthcare costs can jeopardize retirement plans. From understanding Medicare options to preparing for long-term care needs, it's essential to factor relevant health expenses into your ongoing financial modeling and shoring up of contingency reserves. Building a health savings account and making strategic insurance purchases can offer stability, ensuring peace of mind for your health and wealth.

Review Frequently: A dynamic retirement plan requires regular reviews. As your life changes, so should your financial strategy. Schedule quarterly or annual check-ins to align your plan with your current needs and evolving goals. These reviews are an opportunity to adjust your asset allocation, reassess your retirement goals, or address any life changes such as a career shift or family growth.

Remember, retirement planning is an ongoing journey, not a one-time event. Our team at Exencial is dedicated to providing personalized guidance to help you build and maintain agile retirement plans over time. Contact your Exencial advisor to start planning your retirement without compromise.
