Am I too old (or young) to start working with the Retirement Money Experts?
It’s never too late, but the sooner you begin, the better. We work with pre-retirees, individuals and families as young as 25 up to their 60s+ and retirees all the way through your retirement years. For those who are age 35 or older, we would expect that you have accumulated some retirement savings already, but we don’t have any minimums. We also work with business owners to maximize their retirement and help with succession planning. Our only requirement is that you want to learn and follow your recommended retirement strategy based on actuarial science and academic principles.
What is the Two Economic Powers® approach?
Basically, this strategy starts from the end goal, which is retirement. The Two Economic Powers® approach includes both the accumulation plan and the retirement distribution plan together, starting as early as possible in your career. Academic research shows that this approach allows you to optimize your retirement dollars, allowing you to contribute less and have more in retirement.
What are the typical results you see?
By following our strategy and the custom plan we create for them, our clients typically see a significant increase in their retirement income for the amount of money they are putting away for retirement.
