The Ricker Retire Smart Process

The Ricker Retire Smart Process was developed to help you be realistic
and successful in your retirement. It involves a series of detailed planning
sessions that will produce specific action steps to be implemented prior to and during retirement. It is designed to create a lifetime income stream so that you can live your life the way you want during your retirement years.

Every client’s situation is unique. Your financial condition, coupled with your definition of retirement success, will be the guiding criteria that will help us determine the best plan for you. A successful retirement will result from developing a long-term plan and sticking to it. The Ricker Retire Smart
process includes four distinct phases:
