“Market wealthy. Income poor.”
I'm Mark, and at Blackwater Financial LLC, I see it all the time: investors who are 'market wealthy' but 'income poor.' They have the assets, but they aren't sure what that actually means for their future lifestyle nor do they have a plan for taxes, inflation, or market volatility once the bi-weekly paycheck stops.
As a Chartered Financial Consultant®, I specialize in Retirement Income Planning.

I had a sizable nest egg but no idea how to turn it into income without running out. The Income Gap Analysis was eye-opening. Now I have a plan I can count on.

The tax-efficiency audit alone saved us thousands. We didn't realize how much we were leaving on the table with our old withdrawal strategy.
