Retirement Planning Services

Moving from the accumulation phase to the distribution phase, we work to ensure assets convert to a reliable, tax-efficient life-long paycheck.

True financial security may require looking at the whole picture. At Schaffer Private Wealth Group, we work with you to help navigate the complexities of long-term wealth accumulation, preservation, and distribution. Our approach combines advanced forecasting technology with deeply personalized strategies to help ensure your assets work efficiently for you.

Dynamic Wealth Modeling & Retirement Projections

Using our sophisticated financial architecture platform, we construct a real-time, interactive digital dashboard for your entire financial life. Some examples of the reports and tests include:

Tracking every inflow and outflow to visualize exactly how your portfolio will support your lifestyle year-by-year.

Modeling cash flows against financial aspirations and various market conditions, rising costs, and unique life events.

Whether you are trying to decide at what age to retire, how much you need to save, or if you want to continue working, we can create different scenarios and show the cause and effect of each stage of your finances.

We take the time to go through each aspect of your financial situation and use the plans and reports to discuss where you are on your financial goals scale.
