Peace of Mind
At Dean Charles Associates, Inc., we believe that retirement is not “the end” but rather an exciting beginning to the Next Phase of your life. A phase that will offer tremendous opportunities to pursue long-held dreams and new interests. See the Seven Wonders of the World, volunteer for Habitat for Humanity, or simply spend more time with your family. All things are possible, but you must be prepared.
Whether retirement is in the near future or longer term, we can help you achieve your ideal retirement by preparing for the Certainty of Uncertainty with a holistic, Values-Based approach to Retirement Planning which recognizes the impact of behavior and emotions on your ideal retirement.
So, what are some of the categories of Uncertainty in retirement and how do we incorporate them into our Values-Based planning process? Let’s take a look.
Categories of Retirement Uncertainty
- Outliving your money
- Medical and Long-Term Care Expenses
- Inflation and the loss of purchasing power
- Unexpected Expenses
- Stock Market Volatility
- Remaining independent with a healthy mind and body
