From spending time with grandkids at Millennium Park to wintering in warmer states, we help you prioritize what matters most. It’s not just about the numbers – it’s about your vision for the next chapter.
Living in Grand Rapids has its perks – diverse neighborhoods, a strong sense of community, and access to top-tier healthcare. But as the cost of living in Michigan continues to rise, so does the need for careful, proactive retirement planning.
We understand the financial landscape of West Michigan because we live and work here too. Whether you’re aiming to stay close to home in East Grand Rapids or thinking of downsizing in Wyoming or Kentwood, your retirement plan should reflect the unique financial challenges and opportunities of this region. From protecting your retirement income from the current rollercoaster swings in the stock market to navigating Social Security options, we tailor every plan to your needs – and to Grand Rapids’ reality.
When you choose Jacobs Financial, you’re not calling a national 800-number or getting a one-size-fits-all plan. You’re partnering with a team that’s rooted right here in Grand Rapids. We understand Michigan’s retirement tax rules, local property values, and the healthcare options available at places like Corewell (formerly) Spectrum Health.
We take the time to get to know you – your goals, your fears, your family – and build a relationship that lasts. Our process starts with a simple, no-obligation conversation. From there, we design a comprehensive retirement strategy that grows with you, adapts to change, and brings peace of mind.
Many of our clients come to us asking, “Can I actually afford to retire?” The good news? Most of them can – it just takes a bit of planning and perspective.
During your complimentary consultation, we’ll review your current assets, income sources, and future goals. We’ll discuss everything from pensions and 401(k)s to Social Security timing and healthcare planning. You’ll walk away with a clear understanding of where you stand and what steps you need to take next.
This isn’t a sales pitch – it’s a conversation about your future, hosted by advisors who live and work in the same community you do.
We’re proud to work with individuals and families across the greater Grand Rapids area – from Rockford to Byron Center, Cascade to Comstock Park. Whether you’re still in the workforce or ready to retire tomorrow, our mission is the same: help you retire confidently and comfortably.
