Retirement Success Strategy
Create a Retirement By Design
At Sage Financial, we’ve discovered that many individuals who feel uncertain about their retirement share a common trait: they lack a written strategy that provides clarity and confidence.
That’s why our visionary founder, Regina Cornelio, has developed The Sage Retirement Success Strategy™. This comprehensive approach addresses, integrates, and simplifies the six critical components that we believe are essential for any successful retirement plan.
We understand that planning for retirement can be overwhelming, which is why we strive to make the process as straightforward and accessible as possible. Our goal is to empower you with the knowledge and tools you need to create a retirement plan that fits your unique goals and circumstances.
With the Sage Retirement Success Strategy™, you can feel confident that you have a solid plan in place for a fulfilling and financially secure retirement. Let us help you take control of your retirement and achieve the future you deserve.
90% Strategy. 10% Financial Tools.
The fundamental flaw in the financial industry today is that advisors often lead with product focused solutions and ignore critical components of one’s financial and total wellbeing, largely doing a disservice to you as a retiree.
Recognizing these gaps and inefficiencies from decades of professional experience and his own personal experiences at the loss of his father, founder and visionary Beau Henderson has created The Sage Financial Retirement Success Strategy™ providing an integrated solution, addressing:
-
The lifeblood of retirement is income. Will you have enough? Will it last as long as you do? These are the top concerns of the people we help serve every day. We will help you to:
Maximize Social Security Options: identifying which retirement claiming strategy makes the most sense for you and your family.
Optimize Pension Selections: navigating your choices from lump sum payouts to survivorship options.
Create a Written Income Plan: segmenting your money to provide the income you need for now, soon and the later years of retirement using The Bucket Plan®.
-
With retirement today often spanning multiple decades, including long-term growth opportunities is essential. Through asset allocation and diversification, this growth will help hedge against inflation, long-term care costs and provide for a surviving spouse or loved ones in future generations.
-
It’s not just about what you make, but what you keep. With most retirement savings having an unpaid tax bill that becomes due upon distribution, taxes are often the greatest single expense for most Americans today—even during retirement. Our goal is to help you be efficient to pay as little in taxes as possible. This may include:
Planning for required minimum distributions (RMDs): determining what these distributions will look like every year, which accounts they will come from and how they will impact your overall taxable income throughout retirement.
Roth conversion strategies: evaluating your current and future expected tax liabilities to help minimize the total tax impact on your retirement accounts.
-
It’s not just money that will make for a satisfying retirement; it’s how the money is used that ultimately determines your retirement success. Once you stop being an employee, who will you be? What relationships and experiences give you the most purpose and fulfillment? We will guide you through these critical conversations to determine what matters most to you, and then create a plan to help you achieve it.
Often, we see financial professionals may address one, maybe two of these components, but it takes all six of these components working together in alignment to create a truly successful Retirement by Design.
