Teachers

We work with teachers that are starting off their careers as well as teachers that are close to transitioning to retirement.

Financial Planning for New Teachers

Financial planning for new teachers doesn't only involve knowing how to plan for retirement, but also how to maximize your benefits. Post-graduation debt can be overwhelming when you're working hard to build your future. We can work together to create a financial plan that addresses your needs and supports your goals. It takes careful planning, management, and listening to help you reach your goals both today and tomorrow.

For new teachers picking the right 403(b) plan and investments is only part of the equation. Understanding your paycheck, and your benefits and helping you build your cash reserves, planning for a graduate degree, saving for a first home, a new car, a new family, all while paying college loans can be a daunting task without help. We will meet with you in a complementary consultation to determine how we may best assist you. We've worked with many new teachers and understand the challenges that young professionals have.

Financial Planning for Teachers Nearing Retirement

We have presented the State of CT Teacher Retirement System "Retirement Lane" presentation in many local school districts. During your last years of employment and first year of retirement, many of the decisions you make are irrevocable. We will meet with you in a complementary consultation to determine how we may best assist you. Proper planning is essential to having a comfortable retirement.
