You've worked hard to get where you are. As retirement gets closer, the focus often shifts from building wealth to making smart decisions about what you've built.
Some of the conversations we frequently have with clients include retirement income planning, tax-efficient withdrawal strategies, Social Security decisions, estate planning, business transitions, and preparing for unexpected healthcare or long-term care expenses
Ryleigh Wealth Management helps successful families retire with confidence.
Why should I partner with Ryleigh Wealth Management?
As you near retirement, there are many decisions to make. How will you pay for health care? When should you start Social Security? If you have an employer retirement plan, how should you access those funds? If you have a pension, what is the best way to set up those payments? How can you plan for a long-term medical event? How can you be sure you have enough saved to retire? What is the most tax-efficient way to align my investments with my goals?
When you partner with us, we will help you find answers to all these questions, anticipate potential issues, and ensure you are ready to handle them.
I already have a sizeable retirement account through my employer, do I really need your help?
Congratulations on saving early!
Employer-sponsored retirement plans typically do not include a comprehensive wealth advisor. You may have a point of contact for questions; they might not be able to create a financial plan for you as you move into retirement. When you partner with us, we make sure your account is sufficient to fund the retirement you planned on and that you are prepared to handle unexpected life events. It’s best to get these answers upfront rather than wait until you’re in retirement to realize your plans are not fully funded.
I have been managing my own investments for years, why would I need your help to retire?
Retiring is something most people only do once. There are many decisions to be made beyond just portfolio allocation. There is long-term financial planning, tax planning, protection questions, estate planning, and much more that goes into retirement. Going into this new phase with a professional can help you avoid costly mistakes.
I don't plan to have a fancy retirement; I just want to spend time with family. If I don't need much money, do I still need your help?
That’s wonderful that you plan to be with your family! However, if you do not properly financially prepare for retirement and potential health and life events, you can quickly become a burden on your family. Even if you expect low retirement cost of living, having a financial plan in place that can withstand unexpected life and market events is an invaluable gift to your loved ones. Also, persistent inflation always needs to be planned for in advance.
