Personal Financial Accounts
Everyone wants to maximize his or her retirement money. Living comfortably during the best years of your life is the same goal most of our clients work towards. Michaels and Associates can extend their assistance and expertise in retirement planning to help you maximize your retirement money.
If you are like other Americans, you’re likely to change jobs an average of six times in your lifetime. Chances are you have accumulated retirement assets from each of your previous employers and have not found an easy way to manage those funds. Now that you have experienced the convenience of your payroll deduction investing, why not simplify life and consolidate your retirement assets.
As corporate downsizing and early retirement incentives have changed the employment landscape, you’re undoubtedly aware of the tax implications associated with distributions from company retirement plans. Not surprisingly, this is an area of great confusion for many who have lost their jobs or are taking early retirement.
Deciding how to handle a lump-sum retirement distribution may, in fact, be one of the biggest financial decisions most investors will face. While taking the money in cash may be tempting, it also may play havoc with their financial security down the road.
Having counseled so many clients on the issues and options related to lump-sum distributions over the years, Michaels and Associates is able to make the process simple and stress free.
