Life is a long journey. This is how we’ll ensure yours – at each new stage,
through every financial challenge and opportunity – is well planned.

PLANNING FOR A LIFETIME
The most important step in financial planning
is simply to start. And the earlier you start the
better your chance of building a solid financial
foundation that can grow with you and
support your near-term needs and long-term
goals. As you begin planning, these are the
challenges you’ll face and how we can help
you solve them.

LAYING THE FOUNDATION
Managing and eliminating debt
We’ll encourage you to stick to your plan to avoid accruing new debt and help you structure a plan to systematically pay down existing debt.
Planning for near-term goals
We’ll help you quantify and prioritize your more immediate needs and wants, like starting a family, taking a vacation or buying a car.
Preparing for unforeseen expenses
We can assist you with starting an emergency fund with three to six months’ worth of living expenses, at minimum.
Maintaining an appropriate balance between spending and saving
We’ll help you create a sustainable plan in which you spend less than you earn and direct savings toward important goals.

PLANNING FOR A LIFETIME
With your financial plan in place, now you can focus your efforts on accumulating the funds that will support you, your family, your career and your future. At this point in the planning
process, you’re likely nearing the peak of your earning potential, so make the most of it and
keep these challenges in mind.

PLANNING FOR A LIFETIME
As you move closer to retirement, your priorities will shift again and new concerns may arise.
Your planning should shift as well, from accumulation to distribution. Now’s the time to
begin developing a sensible strategy for how you’ll spend money in retirement and how you’ll
continue generating income in the years ahead.

ESTABLISHING YOUR LONG-TERM PLAN
13
There are a lot of decisions and trade-offs facing you as you consider your next phase of life. What are your goals for retirement, how much income will you need, what do you want to do with your money and your time? What benefits can you expect? What about your health?
Retirement is all about making good decisionsThis is a great point to identify and record your goals
Are you in the Confidence Zone?
We have the tools and resources to ensure that you understand your choices and how they can impact your confidence in a secure retirement.

STARTING THE PLAN
14
One of the best ways to ensure that you achieve a goal is to write it down. The same applies to financial goals. We have tools and resources to help you get started.
The process can be relatively easy:
1. Identify your goals (needs) and expenses (wants)
2. Identify your assets and income sources
3. Use our interactive tool in collaboration with your advisor
4. Analyze the likelihood of reaching those goals
5. Create an action plan to give you confidence

PLANNING FOR A LIFETIME
It’s time to retire – to start reaping the rewards of all your hard work. But it’s also a
critical period in your financial planning process. You’ll soon have the dual
responsibilities of spending and preserving the funds you’ve accumulated. So, while you
should certainly enjoy this time, don’t forget you still have some important
things to consider.

SPENDING YOUR MONEY WISELY
Knowing when you’re ready
We’ll continually monitor your progress – reviewing your portfolio and other accounts as well as the income you can expect from other sources to help determine when the time is right for you to officially retire.
Making a successful transition
We’ll encourage you to lay out a solid plan for how you’ll spend your time post-retirement, beginning immediately after your retirement date.
Preparing for the unexpected
You face the risk of many unforeseen costs in retirement. We can help identify and plan for key unknowns, such as the potential need for long-term care.
Digital Financial Planning for DentistsTM17
SPENDING YOUR MONEY WISELY (CONTINUED)
Generating income in retirement
We’ll shift the strategy behind your portfolio from one driven by generating returns to one designed to generate consistent income and preserve wealth, while keeping up with inflation.
Staying disciplined
We’ll work with you to develop and stick to a sustainable spending policy that differentiates your needs from your wants and is designed to make your money last through retirement.
Maintaining open communication
A collaborative, ongoing process is essential to achieving a comfortable retirement. We’ll work hard to communicate frequently to ensure you are on the right track.

PLANNING FOR A LIFETIME
By now, you’ll hopefully be in a good place – you’ll have adjusted to a new pace and
lifestyle, and you’ll have more time to focus on things beyond the day to day. This is
when you should start looking at the biggest of big pictures: your legacy.
