A few years ago Linda got serious about retiring. She and her husband felt like they had saved enough, but wanted to understand what the risks to their plan might be.

Linda used NewRetirement’s What If Tool to simulate different strategies. And she ran worst case scenarios. She found opportunities and the confidence she needed to retire comfortably.

Now happily retired, Linda uses NewRetirement on a regular basis to update her account balances and maintain peace of mind around her plan.

At 45, Tim is about 15-25 years from retirement. He started using
NewRetirement to track his overall financial health. He logs in to assess
his net worth regularly and confirm that he is saving adequately to retire
at 62.

However, he’d like to retire earlier, but with kids to put through college and
the lake house he’d like to buy, he is not sure it will be possible. He is
actively weighing options and running scenarios for retirement at 55.

financial planning strategies, but found NewRetirement to be the best way
to simulate his future and learn about retirement strategies personalized

can rock retirement on public service salaries…anyone can.”

Emmitt was preparing to retire after a long career as a civil engineer.
Emmitt had spent time simulating his retirement plan with products from
Fidelity and Vanguard, but still didn’t feel like he had a clear picture of how
much he needed to create the retirement he wanted. After his sister-inlaw
was swindled by a financial advisor, Emmitt was wary of leaving his
planning decision up to anyone beside himself.

After creating his initial retirement plan with NewRetirement, Emmitt ran
several What-If scenarios to determine how his financial security would be
impacted under a number of different conditions. As it turned out,
Emmitt’s plan was sustainable even with inflation, varying rates of return
and a pessimistic market projection. Now Emmitt uses NewRetirement’s
Key Dates tool to ensure that he’s always on time with his planning
strategies, and sleeps better at night knowing he’s making the right
decisions for himself and his family.

“NewRetirement is a powerful yet easy to use tool. I discovered NewRetirement as my wife and I started the retirement phase of our life. Using NewRetirement, we were able to gain a clearer understanding of our financial
situation. I recommend NewRetirement to individuals who are inclined to manage their own finances and/or use this
tool to back-check information their financial advisors give them.”
