answer the important question:
where is my money coming from?

Income planning helps you understand where your money will come from and how your different income sources can work together. At MainBridge Wealth, we help coordinate investments, Social Security, pensions, retirement accounts, and other sources of income to build a strategy around your needs and long-term goals. Whether you’re preparing for retirement or navigating another stage of life, thoughtful income planning can help you make informed financial decisions with greater clarity and confidence.

key components of
income Planning

TIMING YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY:

Deciding when to claim Social Security can have a lasting impact on your income. We help you evaluate your options and determine a claiming strategy based on your financial situation and long-term goals.

CHOOSING WHEN TO RETIRE:
When you retire can affect your savings, income, benefits, and long-term financial plan. We help you evaluate these factors together so you can make a more informed decision about when retirement makes sense for you.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR PENSION:
If you have a pension, choosing how and when to receive your benefits is an important decision. We help you understand your payout options and coordinate your pension with your other sources of income.

PLANNING YOUR WITHDRAWALS:

Where you take money from and when can affect your taxes and how long your savings last. We help you coordinate withdrawals across your investment and retirement accounts as part of a thoughtful income and tax strategy.

PLANNING FOR MEDICARE COSTS:
Your income can affect what you pay for Medicare through the Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount (IRMAA). We help you understand how your income may affect these costs and incorporate them into your financial plan.

MANAGING REQUIRED DISTRIBUTIONS:

Certain retirement accounts require you to begin taking Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) once you reach the applicable age. We help you plan for these withdrawals and consider their impact on your income and taxes.
