There are some politicians that are putting a number on what they think will “be enough” for a comfortable retirement. And if you have saved more, it’s time for more taxes.

This is the time of year to sit down with your CPA and talk about taxes. It is also a great time to sit down with your financial advisor and see how your tax situation affects your retirement.
