The Live It side of the GENTIAN equation goes beyond traditional planning. It is designed to support you as you redefine your idea of balance and personal fulfillment. Questions here center around healthy living, how much should I spend on travel, what can I do to contribute, how can I make sure what is most important to me is at the center of my planning and ultimately, how do I optimize the life I now get the chance to have?
​

Transition to Retirement

You’ve likely thought about the financial side of retirement, but have you defined the details that will make up the next phase of your life? What will you do with your time and how will you seek fulfillment?

Now is the time to nail those things down and identify your short and long term goals. Remember, retirement isn’t an endgame; it’s a full and active part of your life that is suppose to be your best, and it could last much longer than you think. Let's plan for that, so you can be as confident as possible – financially, emotionally and physically.

Death of a Spouse

In addition to the emotional turmoil, losing a spouse has major financial implications regarding issues such as life insurance proceeds, Social Security and the retitling of financial accounts.

For some, this event may bring you to a place where you are managing your financial affairs on your own for the first time. Feelings of overwhelm or concerned about having sufficient income to maintain your lifestyle may arise. Take comfort in knowing, we are well versed and we are here to support and guide through this transition.
