Retirement income planning is not what it used to be. Today it is far more complex. There are more choices and more decisions that have to be made, from Social Security, to income taxes, to how to create income, to making the money last - each decision is usually irrevocable so it's important we get it right the first time." Michael Aloi, CFP

Here are some of the retirement questions to consider:

•How do we create income in retirement?

•How do we reduce income taxes to create more retirement income? 

•How do we manage expenses in retirement to create more income? 

•How do we invest for retirement income?

•How should we manage debt to create more income?

•How do we maximize Social Security? 

•How should we take our workplace pension(s)? 

•What are the risks or threats to our retirement?

•How do we make the money last?
