A good retirement has very little to do with what time you claim Social Security, what your asset allocation is, or whether or not you should look at doing a Roth conversion.
A good retirement has EVERYTHING to do with getting to spend time with your grandkids, traveling, finally learning to ski, or buying the boat so you can take the family out on the weekends.
That's why we're here. We understand that retirement should be all about the goals, and what you want to have happen. It's our job to help you line up all of the financial stuff to help support those goals. Working together means having someone in your corner to help with the finances and all the decisions that come along with retirement, while letting you focus on the stuff that matters.
