Analyze

Step back and review the summary portion on the spreadsheet and ask yourself the following questions. Based on what I have read in Positioning 4 Retirement:

1. Does my retirement fit my expectations in relation to how my assets are positioned, qualified versus non-qualified? Am I too strong in one classification?
2. What percentage of my funds are at risk versus not at risk? (Remember the Rule of 100.) Am I comfortable with that?
3. To what extent do I need an estate plan? Are the legal documents I have adequate? Do I feel legally protected?
4. Is my current team performing well for me, and are the team members meeting my expectations?

If you find yourself in a quandary or in need of assistance but not sure where to turn, Positioning 4 Retirement has taken some of the worries away. Proceed to Step 4.
