The problem

Saving is a hard skill. Spending it down is a harder one.

Getting to retirement is difficult but simple: save more than you spend for thirty years and watch the balance climb. Retirement is difficult and complex — now the money has to come out in the right order, without losing subsidies or triggering surcharges, all for the first time.

Having enough money is capability. Knowing how to turn it into a paycheck for life is ability. A rocket with enough fuel to reach the moon is capability — you still can't get there without the skill to fly it. We build the flight plan. And if you want, we fly it with you.

What makes us different

You have the right to spend the money you worked a lifetime to save.

We'll say the uncomfortable part out loud: step two is a wealth management relationship, and we're paid on the assets we manage — the same incentive that pushes many advisors to keep you spending as little as possible. We're telling you because our entire job is the opposite: proving how much you can safely spend, and giving you permission to actually live on it.

Our five-year goal: help 5,000 clients spend $600 million of their own money a 4%-rule plan would leave untouched.
Who we're for

Built for people with $1M+ saved who want to be partners in it

You're approaching or newly in retirement, and you're probably asking:

What's the most I can safely spend each year?
How do I create tax-efficient income from my assets?
Am I taking more investment risk than I need to?
What can I do before retiring to spend more later?

Your roadmap answers these — and 21 questions in all.

Questions

Common questions

Are you a fiduciary?

Yes — 100% of the time. We're fee-only and commission-free, paid only by you and never by selling you a product.

How do you make money?

A flat-fee, four-month planning engagement — $8,000, regardless of your income or wealth. A transparent percent of assets under management fee if you continue via an ongoing relationship.

Can you work with me virtually, anywhere in the U.S.?

Yes. We work with households across the country.

Do you work on an hourly or project basis?

No. We do our best work as a long-term partner. For one-off or hourly help, a directory like NAPFA or the Garrett Planning Network is a better fit.
