Case Study #2: Newly Retired

Rocky & Diane Miller

CASE STUDY #2

Age:

63

Profession:

Pilot and Nurse

Primary Goals:

Create a reliable, tax-efficient, income stream in retirement

 

The background

Rocky & Diane didn't understand the most tax-efficient way to take money out of their portfolios. They needed help deciding when to take Social Security. They also had questions about private health insurance before Medicare.

How we helped

The Gameplan
The Outcome
  • Outline a portfolio distribution strategy that minimizes taxes while supplementing retirement income
  • Model scenarios taking Social Security at 62 vs 70 (or anywhere in-between) to understand the impact on retirement cash flows
  • Identify income limits that affect private insurance costs
  • The Millers now can take guilt-free distributions without worrying about tax implications or running out of money
  • They identified the optimal age to take Social Security within the context of their financial plan
  • We targeted a max annual income to lower the cost of private health insurance before Medicare
