Positioning for College
While most professionals in financial services subscribe to an approach that addresses college planning as a savings issue, Doug focuses on identifying strategies that leverage your unique situation to help you save ON college cost. He takes into consideration topics like:
- specialized college planning strategies for business owners
- specialized strategies for high income/high net worth families
- planning to maximize need-based financial aid
- strategic coordination of contributions from grandparents
- cash-flow strategies and multiple options for covering shortfalls
To summarize Doug’s role: After sharing strategies on how to lower out-of-pocket costs as much as possible, he then develops a plan to fund the remaining share that is the most
- Interest efficient
- Tax efficient
- Cash flow efficient and
- Financial aid efficient
…way possible.
With strategic planning, families are able to send their kids to college without getting buried in student/parent loans and stay on track for retirement. That’s what serious college planning is all about.
Positioning for Retirement
Many people don't realize it, but retirement planning goes hand-in-hand with college planning. Families who fail to properly plan for college may find their retirement plans severely impacted. (And they only realize it when it's too late.)
As a Retirement Income Certified Professional® (RICP), Doug Bryan is specially trained to help his clients mitigate the major risks they face in retirement. The four biggest risks are:
- Taxes
- Inflation
- Stock Market
- Longevity
Most financial service professionals focus on accumulation strategies. [IE: getting the biggest pile of money possible] However, once you retire, you go from accumulation to decumulation. We believe a successful retirement strategy is one that lasts as long as you do.
