Jacobs Retirement Roadmap™

Jacobs_RetirementRoadmap_logo

  • Discover

    Imagine what your ideal retirement looks like, and explore what’s important to you.

  • Discuss

    Examine your current financial situation, and determine your retirement income needs.

  • Implement

    Develop a custom strategy so that you can take steps toward meeting your retirement goals.

Many of our clients in West Michigan and surrounding areas ask us the first step in financial planning. The first step in personal financial planning is preparing your financial roadmap. At Jacobs Financial Services, we approach retirement planning with a three-step methodology:

  1. Discover – Let yourself imagine your ideal retirement.
  2. Discuss – Examine your current finances and future needs.
  3. Implement – Create a customized plan for getting you the retirement of your dreams.

Since you wouldn’t consider setting off on a long trip without a map, GPS, or itinerary, it stands to reason that you should have some direction for something as critical as your financial future.
