💼 A few years ago, there were ads from financial services companies asking, "What's your number?" #️⃣ The "number" represents the amount of money you need to retire comfortably. While this question may have been an effective way to spark conversations about retirement, we believe that it doesn't paint the complete picture. One of the most important parts of orchestrating your retirement income strategy is determining which assets to take and in which order. There is no one formula; every situation is unique, but there are some general guidelines that can help when creating a withdrawal strategy. For example, one approach to consider is withdrawing money from taxable accounts first, then tax-deferred, then tax-exempt. By using taxable money first, you can avoid paying taxes as long as possible with tax-deferred investments—and your tax-exempt accounts remain tax-exempt for a longer period. Ultimately, your decision will be influenced by a wide range of other considerations, including withdrawal fees, surrender charges, and other costs that may be associated with each specific account. However, when possible, consider using the power of tax deferral and tax exemption to your advantage. There's a lot to consider, but you don't need to figure this out on your own. With this post, we are pointing out some high-level concepts. It's not a replacement for real-life advice. Your tax, legal, and accounting professionals may also have some additional insights into the tax implications of certain withdrawal decisions. If you would like to review your current plans to make sure you’re on track, please send us a message. 🤝💼 #RetirementStrategy #FinancialPreparation #RetirementIncome

Have you read about the villas that are selling in Italy for about €1? 🏡 What do you think?! 🍷 It’s an exciting trend and a reminder that personal finance isn’t just about numbers on a spreadsheet; it’s about creating a life that brings you joy and fulfillment! But before you jump in, here are some realities to consider. Pros: 🏘️ Own a piece of history: Live in a charming Italian villa. 🍽️ Contribute to a community: Be part of revitalizing a town and its culture. Cons: ⬆️ Hidden renovation costs: The €1 price is just the start—factor in permits, repairs, and potential surprises. 🚧 Bureaucratic hurdles: Navigating Italian regulations can be tricky. Knowing some Italian helps! 🕰️ Long-term commitment: Renovations take time and oversight. Patience is key! 🧭 Remote locations: €1 houses are often in charming but potentially isolated villages. So, make sure you do your research. Understand renovation costs, potential property issues, and local regulations. Prepare for hidden expenses. Fees, permits, and ongoing maintenance add up. €1 houses can be a dream come true but be ready for the full commitment! ✨ #Italy #dreamhome #travel #considerations

💼 Wall Street has its own language and adages… One of my favorites is "Sell in May and Go Away," suggesting that the market’s performance is typically weaker from May through October. Although there is some loose historical basis, market timing has well-documented limitations. While these sayings may sometimes hold a kernel of wisdom, more often, they are just something that catches our attention and makes for an interesting table topic. Here are a few others that come up in conversations on occasion… 1️⃣ "Markets Climb a Wall of Worry": This phrase means that the stock market often rises, even amid negative news or uncertainties. 2️⃣ "Stocks Take the Stairs Up and the Elevator Down": This maxim reflects the fact that stocks often rise gradually over time but can drop rapidly in a market downturn. 3️⃣ "Everyone Looks Like a Genius in a Bull Market": Soaring stocks make everyone seem like financial wizards in a bull market. Success isn't always a reflection of expertise. Have you heard of any of these before? What do you think of these sayings? #WallStreetMaxims #Investing #FinancialWisdom

🏠 Considering a home improvement project this spring? 🌼 One option for paying for the project is a HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit). Unlike home equity loans with fixed interest rates, HELOCs can offer variable rates that may adjust over time. HELOCs also offer flexibility—you only borrow what you need, and you only make payments on the money you’ve borrowed. Many factors need to be considered before creating a HELOC. Understanding the benefits and limitations is the first step. A financial professional may be able to provide some guidance or offer some material that has insights! 💡 #HELOC #HomeImprovement #FinancialStrategy
