ABOUT THE BOOK

Why the 5 Pillars System?

Transitioning into your retirement years can be overwhelming, but understanding the roads to a wholistic retirement plan doesn’t have to be. Launch Your Retirement is a step-by-step guide that walks you through the 5 essential areas of retirement planning: income, investments, taxes, healthcare and legacy planning aimed at building a strong financial foundation for your retirement.

With a personalized and strategic approach to your retirement, you will be able to craft your own retirement blueprint and learn the tools you need to design the retirement you deserve.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The 5 Pillars and how they work together to build you a strong financial house

PILLAR 1: Income Planning

How to make the most of the transition from saver to spender

The first step is to assess your essential and lifestyle expenses to design a unique plan to replace your paycheck with a play check. You will analyze the factors that can impact your income and how to maximize how much you keep.

PILLAR 2: Investment Planning

Manage the risk of your assets

Create a plan that focuses on the full picture of your goals in retirement and then surround yourself with the right people to make those dreams come true. Assess the risks, fees, volatility control, investment strategy and longevity protection to minimize the impacts of a fluctuating environment.

PILLAR 3: Tax Planning

Strategize ways to keep Uncle Sam out of your pocket

Learn how to reduce the liabilities that may surface during your retirement years and protect you from unexpected taxes. Create a diversified approach that efficiently manages taxes while remaining flexible for any unknown changes to come when you retire.

PILLAR 4: Healthcare Planning

Put the care, not the cost, in your healthcare coverage

Avoid depleting your retirement savings on unexpected medical expenses and protect your “golden goose”. Investigate long-term care options that can help you prepare for potential future needs you may have and minimize large out-of-pocket expenses.

PILLAR 5: Legacy Planning

Effectively pass down your assets according to your wishes

Evaluate the kind of legacy you want to leave to your loved ones and create an efficient way for your assets to be distributed in the way you want. Save the people you love time and money by avoiding probate court while also protecting your assets for future generations.

The Retirement you
have been Dreaming of

”When you have a holistic plan that covers all 5 pillars, the value [you have] compounds”
