Comprehensive financial planning and goal-setting
Develop comprehensive financial plan: goals, timeline, priorities, and action steps aligned with life objectives.
Plan: (1) Increase savings to $30K/year (20% of income), (2) Retire at 65 needs $2.5M (4% rule = $100K/year), projected to have $2.2M (96% funded), (3) College: $50K × 2 kids, 529 plans $10K/year, (4) Vacation home: $300K down payment in 15 years. Action: rebalance portfolio, increase 401k, open 529s.
Retirement income planning and sustainability
Plan retirement: calculate needed savings, project income sources, model longevity risk, and optimize withdrawal strategy.
Retirement analysis: projected assets at 65 = $2.5M. 4% withdrawal rule = $100K (meets need). Social Security $50K starts age 67, reduces portfolio withdrawals. Projected assets at 90: $1.8M (30-year horizon covered). Recommendation: SUSTAINABLE. Consider delaying SS to 70 for 24% increase.
Investment allocation and tax optimization
Optimize portfolio: asset allocation, diversification, tax-loss harvesting, and efficient fund placement.
Allocation: 70% stocks (US 50%, intl 20%), 30% bonds. Tax strategy: tax-advantaged accounts: max 401k ($23K), IRA ($7K), HSA ($4K) = $34K/year, use for stocks. Taxable: bonds and REITs. Tax-loss harvest annually. Expected return: 6.5% after-tax, 7.5% pre-tax.
Major life event planning (marriage, education, home purchase)
Plan major milestones: education funding, home purchase, insurance needs, and wealth transfer.
Plan: (1) Home down payment: save $1,500/month × 24 months = $36K (with returns: $38K). Close gap: redirect annual bonus. (2) College: 529 plans $10K/year = $150K by year 15. (3) Combined savings target: $20K/year. Feasible with income growth.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 4% rule for retirement withdrawals?
The 4% rule states you can safely withdraw 4% of portfolio annually in retirement. Example: $1M portfolio = $40K/year withdrawals. Based on historical data showing 95% success rate over 30 years. Adjust for inflation yearly. Assume 7% long-term stock returns, 3% inflation. Variations: use 3-5% depending on risk tolerance and years in retirement.
What is a 529 plan and should I use one?
A 529 plan is tax-advantaged education savings plan. Benefits: tax-free growth + withdrawals for education, high contribution limits ($235K/beneficiary), state income tax deduction (varies). Risks: if not used for education, 10% penalty on earnings. Consider: 2-kid family, $50K/year college costs = $80K/year × 4 years × 2 kids = $640K needed. 529 starting early grows tax-free.
How much should I save for retirement?
General guidance: need 70-80% of pre-retirement income in retirement. Example: $100K income = $70-80K/year needed. Using 4% rule: need $1.75-2M saved. Fidelity milestones: age 30 = 1x salary, 40 = 3x, 50 = 6x, 60 = 8x, 67 = 10x. Adjust based on lifestyle, health, longevity expectations, and Social Security timing.
What asset allocation is best for my age?
Rule of thumb: % stocks = 110 - age (or 120 - age for aggressive). Example: age 30 = 80-90% stocks, age 50 = 60-70%, age 65 = 45-55%. Consider: risk tolerance, time horizon, volatility comfort. Diversification: US stocks 50%, intl stocks 20%, bonds 30% is common 60/40 allocation. Adjust with income, job stability, and specific goals.
