There are a lot of things that a retiree cannot control like life expectancy, or the fluctuation of the stock market on a year over year basis. However, math and science have proven that there are dozens of things that a proactive investor can do to substantially increase Social Security benefits, while reducing their risk, and controlling things like taxes, fees and the harmony between growth and income producing assets.
After age 50 you need more than a pie chart (of assets), you need a plan. The goal of retirement planning as defined by MOKAN FINANCIAL is to create the greatest amount of net (after tax) income to fund your quality of life, for the rest of your life. MOKAN FINANCIAL likes to consider itself as big enough to do the job yet small enough to care, as they continue teaching and specializing in this type of retirement planning.
