As you approach retirement, the margin for error narrows. Ensure your assets are structured to last as long as the life you’ve envisioned.
Most people approaching retirement have done a lot right, saving consistently and keeping a long-term perspective. But as the date approaches, something shifts. Planning for a distant future feels different than relying on that plan for monthly income.
This guide was written to help you bridge that gap. It is a practical look at the decisions that shape your future.
We’ve worked with hundreds of families. Inside, we break down the four pillars of a strong retirement.
How to account for the costs of healthcare and home maintenance.
Why where you withdraw from matters as much as how much you withdraw.
How the timing of Social Security and IRA distributions can create (or hinder) tax flexibility.
Why a high account balance can sometimes mask a lack of true testing.
“From the start of our relationship, Harvest created a 5-year cash flow forecasting model for our portfolio, which is updated annually and reviewed by my wife and me in person. Their forecasts have been within a percentage point or two of total accuracy, giving us peace of mind. This is a partnership we can’t find anywhere else.”
