Full event description
Retirement planning can feel overwhelming, especially for people who do not have a financial advisor. Many important decisions - such as when to retire, when to claim Social Security, whether to consider Roth conversion, and how to prepare for market downturns - can have a long-term impact on financial security.
In this CAMEL Talks session, John Pan demonstrated an upgraded retirement planning tool designed to help individuals and families use data, modeling, and scenario analysis to make more informed retirement decisions.
The session focused on practical retirement planning questions, including whether retirement cash flow may be sustainable, how different Social Security claiming ages may affect lifetime income, when Roth conversion may be worth considering, and how to stress test a retirement plan under market declines, inflation, early retirement, and other scenarios.
This was a nonprofit educational event, with no sales pitch and no commercial promotion.
Key questions we explored
- Am I ready to retire?
- When is the best time for Roth conversion?
