We Consider 3 Functions of Assets in Retirement:

Usually satisfied first because it creates Retirement Lifestyle. The following assets are often identified as available to satisfy the desired income:

Stocks
Bonds
Mutual Funds
ETF’s
Deferred Comp
401k’s
Profit Sharing Plans
IRA’s
Simple IRA’s
SEP’s

Roth IRA’s
Cash Balance Plans
Real Estate
Sale of Business
Private Equity
Life Insurance Cash Value
Income Streams from Pensions, Social Security or Income Annuities
Etc.

Any asset that is not being used to generate income.

Assets (that have not been utilized for income or liquidity) remaining after both spouses pass away. These can be passed on to heirs or a desired charity.

The following are just some of the topics that we discuss and how they can impact Retirement Distributions:

The 4% Rule - Can you safely withdraw 4% every year in retirement without the fear of running out of money?
Monte Carlo Simulation - How much can you safely withdraw without the fear of running out of money?
Sequence of Returns - If the market declines, particularly at the beginning of retirement, will you have to reduce your income and retirement lifestyle?

How Rick and Sarah Solved Their Retirement Savings & Income Dilemma

I’m Rick, and my wife is Sarah. With $2.5M in retirement assets and an income of $183K, we dreamed of escaping our hectic Front Range existence for a quieter mountain lifestyle. When we contacted Rocky Mountain Financial Services, I had already retired and was collecting pension and social security. Sarah was still working. If Sarah was to retire and start social security, we would still need an additional $63K to reproduce our current income of $183K and maintain our lifestyle.

We were not sure if we could withdraw $63K each year for both of our lifetimes from the $2.5M in retirement assets, without the fear of running out of money. If the market declined during retirement, we were concerned that we may have to reduce the $63K withdrawal and adjust our lifestyle. Furthermore, we wanted to use some of our retirement assets for travel, purchase of a mountain home, and other contingencies. But we were hesitant to dip into these assets because they may be needed for income during retirement.

Rocky Mountain Financial Services presented the advantages and disadvantages of several retirement income strategies. After careful consideration, they designed a plan that was structured to generate $63K annually, which when combined with my pension and our social security reproduced our current income of $183K. Not only could Sarah now retire, but we even had enough liquid funds available to purchase our mountain home, travel, and cover other contingencies. We finally had a retirement income plan that addressed our concerns and allowed us to retire with the lifestyle that we were accustomed to.
