Common Sense Retirement: Made Clear, Practical and Personal
Retirement decisions shouldn’t feel overwhelming.
With a common‑sense approach, grounded in real‑world tax experience and the expertise of a Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor℠ (CRPC®), I help retirees and pre‑retirees understand their income, assets, benefits, and tax implications.
I want you to make confident, informed choices.

What’s My Motivation
After working with hundreds of retirees across tax seasons, I realized how many individuals and couples lacked clarity about their income streams, assets, distributions, and tax implications. I wanted people to sit across from me with knowledge, not confusion.
That’s why I became the Common Sense Retirement Coach.

Our first session after an initial discussion call to start to build your plan - 35 minute session - typically followed by a quarterly review session.
Coaching Packages Available
Note: I do NOT ask for control of any assets or manage any of your funds nor provide securities advice. I am Coach
Phone, video or on-site, we can review all of your documentation of assets, incomes and expenses, prepare budgets to analyze your expenses going out, analyze your investments and pensions to analyze your incomes coming in, review your tax returns and help you prepare a common sense plan for your intended lifestyle - These would be 60 minute sessions or longer
We meet every three months and review your plan for 45 minutes via phone or video call..
Your Questions, Answered
Ask me about these common mistakes I have seen at the Tax Desk…that could have been avoided:
Large withdrawal from IRA/401K/Pension triggers unexpected taxes and penalties
One time gain/profit triggers IRMMA Medicare deductions -reduces your social security benefits
Sale of Home not properly recorded - triggers large gain and taxes and penalties
IRS letter received and ignored - this only results in more troubles
IRS installment payment plan promises broken - your credit with IRS turns bad
ObamaCare/ACA healthcare not managed properly - tax credit reduced - unexpected taxes owed
How quickly can I expect to see measurable results?
While timelines vary by project scope, many clients begin to understand their options and begin to makes changes within days or weeks. We set clear tasks for you to work through so you’ll know exactly when to expect results based upon your efforts.
Do you work best with certain individuals?
Our discussion applies to individuals approaching retirement, to individuals who are in retirement, to recent widowers who have experienced a dramatic life change, to couples who are experiencing a loved one with a dramatic affliction, to the children of elderly loved ones who need guidance in managing their parents affairs or to a lovely couple who are just living their retirement lives.
Before you enter into any paid sessions, we have a 12 minute initial discussion to ensure that I can be of help to you and yours.
Are these services truly one-time purchases?
Yes. Each package above is a standalone engagement with defined deliverables. However, many clients choose to combine or repeat services as their needs evolve. You can purchase additional packages whenever you’re ready.
