As we come to the end of the year, it's a good time to think about the choices that led us to where we are now. When reflecting on the past year, the Morris & Pursley team is thankful for the loyalty of our clients. We greatly appreciate the confidence that you place in us. Without your trust and support, we would not be half the company we are today. It's an honor for us to serve so many members of our community.
The path that got us here is the start of the path forward, and if you're like many of our clients, you may have multiple sources of income to navigate in your retirement.
More than half of our clients are retired and receiving Social Security or pensions. These income sources can provide a steady cash flow. Still, it's important to consider the impact that adding other retirement income, like 401(k)s, 403(b)s, IRAs, or fixed annuities, can have on your taxes.
With so many different retirement income types, it's hard to determine the right account you should use and when. Don't worry! Our team can look at your options and help you create a thoughtful and tax-efficient retirement income strategy.
