✨KPERS Options✨

KPERS is the Kansas pension system for public educators and other public employees.

Once you are eligible to retire, KPERS gives you several options that you can elect as your retirement benefit: Single Life, Joint Life (and different percentages), lump sum options, etc.

Which one is best?!

Honestly, it depends on the individual. KPERS does NOT have a cost of living adjustment, so lump sums are popular, to try to grow a lump sum that is also available to you, however, it might make sense to elect the full monthly payment.

My financial planning tool helps us visually see what’s best for you! Please do not elect an option without running the numbers! We want more in your pocket at the end of the day. ☺️

Also, those in KPERS 2 and 3 should have the mindset that KPERS will not be enough in retirement, please supplement your retirement by saving into an IRA, 403b or 457! You will thank me later.

✨How Old Are You✨

My clients love the fact that I’m younger than them, because it ensures that I’ll be working with them throughout THEIR retirement.

They won’t have to wonder when I’ll retire, what happens to their accounts, who should they contact, do they trust them??

There’s nothing wrong with a more experienced advisor, as long as they have a succession plan that you trust.

This is your money, your future.

This is a great article!

A client’s blunt question exposed the one real test of a good financial adviser.

✨A MUST-HAVE✨

The EZ Calculator is a free app you can download on your phone and calculate different scenarios!

You can see how much your current retirement contributions could ultimately grow… or you can see how much you need to save to hit a goal. Many financial scenarios you can run!

(This is a simple calculation and does not factor in all of your assets/variables, but is a fun, helpful tool to use!)

I say “fun” because I’m a nerd with numbers 😅 might not be super fun to others, but it is simple.

If you’d like a comprehensive and clear review of your financial goal, we can chat! ☺️

✨ Same as Edward Jones? ✨

I get asked this all the time, so I wanted to clarify!

Like an Edward Jones advisor, I help clients invest and manage their portfolios. The difference is that I’m an independent fiduciary advisor and use Charles Schwab as my investment platform.

That means I have access to a broad range of investment strategies and investments, rather than being limited to one firm’s approved lineup.

Edward Jones is a well-respected firm, and I know some great advisors there. ☺️

If you’ve ever wondered whether your current investment strategy is the best fit for your goals, I’d be happy to provide a second opinion—no pressure, just a conversation.
