Will you need to decide between a lump sum payout or a monthly pension amount? Do you worry if you’ll outlive your current retirement savings and if you have enough? Do you wonder what you’ll do with the time you’ll gain once you retire from your job and if you will still feel fulfilled without the work you currently enjoy? If you answered yes to any of these questions, we can help you!
Retirement planning is offered as a benefit of doing business with us, and we can help you evaluate your preparedness for retirement. Retirement planning with Christian Financial Advisors® not only looks at the monetary side of retirement, but also the physical, spiritual, and emotional aspects of making the immense change that is retirement.
We incorporate financial calculators, income analysis tools, and several questionnaires to help us identify the areas of your retirement that you are prepared for, and those that may need attention and changes.

As you get closer to the finish line of life, it’s important to start thinking about your wealth distribution in three different ways. (more…)
It is estimated by many sources, that for the last few years approximately 10,000 Baby Boomers are retiring daily in our country. This is expected to continue for at least the next ten years. (more…)
Did you know the word “retire” only appears in the entire Bible one time? It is found in the Old Testament in Numbers 8:24-26. This scripture speaks of Levitical priests retiring at the age of 50 from serving in the temple, but it is not in the context we think of today. Instead it is instruction for the older generation to step down from leading in the work, but to continue helping and mentoring the younger generations in the faith.
This will be the last and final part on Heritage Planning. Last week we covered the first 6 of the 12 Elements of Preserving Family Wealth. I would invite you to go back and read the first 6 elements if you missed last week. Today I will cover elements 7-12.
Wisdom, Family Values, Money…if you could only leave two of these things to your children, which ones would they be? We’ve all heard of Estate Planning, but how about “Heritage Planning?” Today, and for the next few weeks, I’d like to talk to you about Heritage Planning.
As a member of the Baby Boomers, I can say we have failed in passing on several important life values to the next generation(s) – be content to live within your means, prepare for the future, and pass a blessing on to your offspring. Instead, we fostered the concept of instant gratification. It was not that long ago when a core financial value was “They make money the old fashioned way ….. They earn it,” as British-American actor, John Houseman so aptly mentioned in his commercial for brokerage firm Smith Barney depicted in the 80’s. This approach of financial responsibility and preparing for the future is now a lost art.
