The question on most pre-retirees’ and retirees’ mind is,“Will I run out of cash before I die?”
While no one has a crystal ball that can predict every eventuality with certainty, financial advisor Tony LaJeunesse AIF® designee, president of TL Financial Group says no one needs to enter retirement blindly.
“Cash flowing your retirement income is an underutilized tool that can create a sense of confidence moving forward,” he explains. “A lot of advisors I know are great at building nest eggs, but simply having a pile of cash isn’t enough. What you plan to spend your money on, and when, are two of the greatest determiners of long-term success.”

He holds one of the most sought-after designations in the financial industry, AIF® Accredited Investment Fiduciary, which is given only to those who complete rigorous training and who adhere to the highest ethical standards. Accredited Investment Fiduciary designees are required to address any financial situation based on the best needs of the client, regardless of profitto the advisor or stockholders.
TL Financial Group Wealth Management Advisors, who include LaJeunesse, Michelle LaFuente, AIF® designee and Erin Wozniak, take a holistic approach to retirement planning. “We make recommendations for every aspect of someone’s financial life,” explains LaJeunesse, who is asked frequently to train other advisors. “Assets, insurance, taxes and estate planning are intertwined. A change in one area might seem to offer cost savings, but may, in turn, place you in a higher tax bracket or increase your Medicare Part B payments. And the strategies you employ to file for Social Security will determine your benefits permanently.”
“It’s an unfortunate fact of life, but the system is so complex that most citizens don’t have the training, time, or inclination to keep all these factors orchestrated and in balance.”
