Sharon truly enjoys helping!

Sharon’s Your Retirement GPS™ is her proprietary Retirement Planning Process—your roadmap to Your Dreamed-Of Retirement. While visiting with you Sharon:

1. Asks questions, answers questions and listens. Sharon’s clients are like family to her. She wants to know all about you, your family, what’s important to you, the retirement lifestyle you envision and when you’d like to retire.

2. Determines your current financial location. Sharon’s next step is to review your current investment portfolio, your 401(k) or 403(b), your IRA accounts, Social Security and how much money you’re putting toward your retirement savings now.

3. Explains risk because risk determines the route you’ll take to retirement. When using a GPS system, there’s always more than one way to get to your desired destination. When traveling, some people may prefer to take safe Interstate all the way to their destination even though it may take longer. Other people may opt for riskier two-lane country roads, so they arrive sooner. Sharon believes it’s important that clients understand risk so she can determine your true risk tolerance.

4. She goes to work developing Your Retirement GPS™, plotting out the most appropriate route to get you from your current financial location to your Dreamed-Of Retirement. She will develop an asset allocation strategy customized specifically for you with the goal of maximizing returns while minimizing risk and volatility.

5. In your follow-up meeting, Sharon explains Your Retirement GPS™ in detail. She explains why she chose a specific route for you. She answers all your questions and keeps answering them until you understand how your investments will work together to help you reach your goals. She also shows you how different financial decisions and spending habits today could have an impact on your retirement tomorrow.
