KEY RETIREMENT DECISIONS
Retirement Changes the Questions
You Need to Ask
Moving from wealth accumulation to distribution requires answering fundamental new questions about cash flow, taxes, and longevity.
When can I safely retire?
Assess readiness through stress-tested scenarios, inflation models, and sustainable timeline projections.
How much can I spend?
Determine your dynamic distribution rate to balance lifestyle desires with lifetime capital protection.
When should I take Social Security?
Strategize optimal claiming ages between 62, FRA, and 70 to maximize lifetime cumulative benefits.
Where will my income come from?
Coordinate multi-asset cash streams across pensions, real estate, taxable accounts, and retirement savings.
How should I take money out of my 401(k)?
Structure sequential withdrawal hierarchies to minimize immediate tax brackets and preserve principal.
How will taxes affect what I actually keep?
Model forward-looking bracket management to prevent avoidable tax torpedoes and clawbacks.
Should Roth conversions be considered?
Leverage transitional low-income retirement windows to build compounding tax-free reserves.
What about required minimum distributions?
Anticipate mandatory age-based distribution milestones to prevent aggressive penalties and taxable surges.

A program of regular investing does not ensure a profit or protect against loss, and you should consider your willingness to keep investing when mutual fund share prices are declining. When choosing your investments, you should also take into account your risk tolerance, as well as other assets and any investments outside this plan, such as your home equity, IRAs and savings accounts. Sample models, developed by investment professionals at RCM Wealth Advisors, emphasize an investor’s time horizon and take into account the historic returns of different types of investments (growth, growth and income, equity income / balances and bond). Specifically, the models seek to balance total return and stability over time. Investors should carefully consider investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses.
