Your retirement plan begins with you and your goals - what you want to do, how much that will likely cost and any additional goals you may have for your money.
Define Your Time Horizon
How long will you need your money working for you? It may be longer than you think. Plan ahead now to avoid surprises later.
Understand Your Spending
A thorough financial plan accounts for what you need to spend and how you'll get the money for it, whether from investment income, withdrawals or your Social Security benefit.
