On today’s Intelligent Money Minute, we’ll interview Larry Swedroe on common mistakes made by pre-retirees. Larry discusses several mistakes he has noticed made by pre-retirees. To begin, he states the well-known phrase, “Those who fail to plan, plan to fail.” Though a pre-retiree may have a well-thought-out investment plan, a plan must be made for a successful life after retirement. This can create a complex problem because necessary “ingredients” are left out. Important issues to consider are estate planning, long-term care, and elder abuse. Most noted is the need for a good wealth advisor or quarterback. A good wealth advisor incorporates all of the issues and creates a comprehensive plan. In conclusion, the financial advisor should coordinate with all involved: the tax advisor, the estate planning attorney, the family members, and, most importantly, the client.
We know you’ve worked hard over the years to accumulate wealth, and you probably find it comforting to know that after your death the assets you leave behind will continue to be a source of support for your family, friends, and the causes that are important to you. But to ensure that your legacy reaches your heirs as you intend, you must make the proper arrangements now. We’d love to grab a coffee to see how we may best serve you and your family.
