    About this ebook

    Financial peace of mind in retirement is not achieved by accumulating assets. Rather, it is achieved by establishing sustainable income streams that are sufficient to maintain your standard of living. The first and perhaps most crucial step in your planning process is selecting a financial professional. You should choose an advisor who is obligated to a fiduciary standard and who must do what is best for you and your family. At Retirement Income Strategies and Investment Strategies, our mission is to provide each client with financial peace of mind. As fiduciaries, we achieve this mission by creating and updating a comprehensive, customized retirement plan called a Retirement Income Plan. This book will show you the importance of creating this strategic, thoughtful plan for your financial future and explain our process of working with clients.

      INTRODUCTION

      Jeremiah 29:11 NIV

      I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

      When you are young and working your first job, you want to earn enough money to support yourself. When you get married and start a family, you want to earn enough to care for your family and provide for their future. When your children are grown and out of the house, you begin to turn your attention to retirement. Once you retire you will still be providing for yourself and pursuing a whole new set of dreams. The goal of this book is to help ensure you have financial peace of mind during the retirement phase of your life.

      Financial peace of mind in retirement is not achieved by accumulating assets. Rather, it is achieved by establishing sustainable income streams that are sufficient to maintain your standard of living as long as you are alive.

      The best way to ensure you have financial peace of mind during retirement is to start planning now. Focus, as soon as possible, on creating a strategic, thoughtful plan for your financial well-being and future. This singular act of planning will yield both financial peace of mind and a defined path to help you fulfill your dreams. The first and perhaps most crucial step in the planning process is selecting a financial professional to work with.

      SELECTING AN ADVISOR

      Most people seek financial advice from one of three types of financial professionals:

      Insurance agents: These individuals represent one or more insurance companies, sell insurance products, and are paid commissions based on what they sell. Because insurance agents are not fiduciaries, they can place their own interest or their company’s interest before the client’s interest.

      Registered representatives or Brokers: These professionals typically work as an intermediary between the buyer and the financial companies selling various products, such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds, etc. Like insurance agents, brokers are paid commissions when their clients buy financial instruments. Brokers are not fiduciaries and can also place their own interest before that of their client.

      Registered Investment Advisor (RIA): RIAs are firms whose financial advisors provide recommendations, analysis and services to help individuals and businesses manage their
