Questions Worth Asking

Your answers can reveal where your retirement plan feels strong — and where it may deserve another look.

  • What do I want an ordinary week in retirement to look like?
  • Which expenses are essential, and which support the lifestyle I want?
  • Where will my retirement income come from?
  • How might healthcare and longevity change my needs?
  • How much financial flexibility do I want for travel, family or unexpected expenses?
  • What do I want my money to accomplish for the people or causes I care about?

You do not need every answer before you begin planning. The purpose of these questions is to connect financial decisions to the life those decisions are intended to support.
