In planning for retirement, begin with your long-term goals and objectives in mind. Your lifestyle, your goals, and your timetable will help determine both your future financial requirements as well as the income needed now. Comerica�s financial planning consultants can assist you with Retirement Cash Flow Analyses in order to estimate current and future expenditures. The analyses will inventory your fixed and variable income sources and, working with your tax advisor, suggest ways to minimize the impact of inflation and taxable consequences.
Creating Retirement Cash Flow Analyses will provide guidance by:
Detailing your retirement expenditures. We will examine your fixed and variable expenditures to estimate their inflationary impact on your financial situation. We will determine areas of concern and offer alternatives to reduce spending where appropriate.
Examining your retirement income sources. Your financial planning professional will evaluate all of your retirement income sources to determine sufficient retirement income to meet your goals and objectives. Income of a non-taxable and capital gain nature will be taken into consideration and treated appropriately.
Reviewing your taxable situation*. We will review all aspects of your financial situation to determine the taxable implications of your retirement plan. This review will include the taxes associated with your required minimum distributions while taking into account any other income sources.
Illustrating your financial situation. Because retirement is generally accompanied by fundamental changes in your financial life, we find that quantifying your financial future allows a comprehensive, well-advised retirement plan to be created. We will take into account income shifts from salary to retirement benefits, levels of expenditures, tax consequences, and alternative retirement plan options.
