Get Peace Of Mind With A Baltimore Financial Planning Professional

By Katy Parfait


Most people are interested in the future and especially their financial future. However, it does little good to become concerned unless you take some type of action today to improve your finances. Your Baltimore MD retirement income planning service can help with this important matter.

Not long ago, a good financial planner was considered essential for millionaires and those with large investment portfolios. However, the average person can benefit a great deal from a financial planner. So many people work hard all their lives and think that tomorrow will take care of itself, and when tomorrow finally arrives, they do not have enough money to live comfortably on.

Most people think very little about the future because they feel that Social Security and pension plans will be sufficient. In reality, what seems like a good income today could be at the poverty level in the coming decades. That is why you need sound financial preparation.

If you are working and over the age of 55 it may seem like a moot point to start a new pension plan. However, there may be many options open to you and you could still have time to enjoy the fruits of your labor. After all, many people are choosing to work to age 70 and beyond.

An IRA may be one of the best ways to provide a hedge against future inflation. However, you may not be sure whether to invest in a Roth or traditional IRA. Your financial planner can show you the differences and advise you on what to do.

Before you open up an IRA you may want to control the investments. This is possible when you have a self directed IRA. However, the IRS has specific rules that must be followed for these IRAs and your Baltimore financial planner will help you set up the account and provide the necessary guidance.
