With summer, 2017, off to a “hot” start here in the Bay Area, this month we turn to retirement planning. (To download the July eLetter, click here.)
Retirement Planning for San Francisco Bay Area Residents: We Can Help
The first article in this month’s eLetter focuses on how to maximize the benefits from your retirement savings. Among the variables are the date of retirement, the amount of your contribution to retirement savings, and the expected rate of return. On the expense side, of course, you can estimate how much you need to live on in retirement and make adjustments accordingly. The article also has a nice set of information on how to estimate your social security benefits. The next article tackles the thorny issue of putting your retirement savings in taxable vs. tax-deferred accounts. It’s not as simple as it seems; it’s not always the best choice to put retirement savings in tax-deferred accounts! (Read the issue to learn why). Finally, as we have many small business clients here in San Francisco, the third article discusses giving to charity and how this can be used as a business strategy to reduce your taxes. It’s fun reading! (Well, OK, fun to us and to anyone who wants to live well in retirement).
