Case study

Revamping a savings strategy

Sarah, a 50-year-old physician, needed help getting her retirement savings back on track. The past few years, she struggled with lifestyle inflation as she tried to keep up with colleagues’ lavish spending and now had concerns about outliving her savings, as she had seen family members experience. We helped her clarify her priorities and get a handle on her cash flow, showing her how long her money might last under different scenarios. We also helped her work out an income strategy that aligned with her vision of how she wants to spend her time in retirement.
