Bonus Flowchart and Resource Updates

September 5, 2019
Resource Additions, Announcements, Updated Resources

We are excited to release a bonus flowchart this month. Not to mention, we have also made a few small changes to two other resources.

Bonus Flowchart:

If I Retire Early, Should I Buy Health Insurance Through The Health Insurance Marketplace?: The health insurance decision for early retirees can be very complicated.  It can be one of the more stressful decisions an early-retiree must make. This particular flowchart was developed in collaboration with Jeff Levine and based on the recent Nerd’s Eye View article he wrote covering this topic.

Updated Resources:

What Issues Should I Consider After Getting Married?:   We are changing the headline/title of this checklist to read “What Issues Should I Consider WHEN Getting Married?”  because it more accurately describes the issues covered.  In reality, this checklist includes many items that should be addressed BEFORE getting married (not just afterward).

Can I Do a Qualified Charitable Distribution From My IRA?:   Two minor changes have been made to this flowchart.  First, we updated where on the tax return the QCD should be reported (line 4, instead of 15). Second, we clarified that Designated Funds and Scholarships are eligible for Qualified Charitable Contributions.   

What do you think of this bonus flowchart and these recent updates?  Send me an email – I’d love to hear your thoughts.

What Customers Are Saying About Us

Hundreds of other advisors are actively using fpPathfinder. Read what those lovely people have to say about us.
“Checklists don't make the planner smarter or more skilled, but do help to ensure that the planner maximizes the knowledge and skill he/she already has.”
— Michael Kitces, Publisher and Editor-In-Chief at Kitces.com
“With working from home most of 2020, we wanted to still catch some face time with our clients. We used the checklists and flowcharts to conduct webinars covering various topics. In fact, having the charts readily available, we were able to do many of these on a weekly basis, knowing the material was pretty much already established. We had such great feedback that we are continuing the webinars into 2021. We have many that actually look forward to our meeting times, and found being able to have the flowchart or checklist available to work on their own later was an added bonus.”
— An advisor in Texas
“I can't say how much I love the product. It is just great. I recommend it to all my colleagues.”
— Robert, an Advisor in Colorado
“This is one of my best subscriptions I pay for!”
— Sean, an advisor in California
“One client just said 'Wow, thank you for this. I would have screwed up my retirement if not for this.'”
— David, an advisor in NY
“I think fpPathfinder is the best tool I’ve ever seen in the financial planning realm. I spend an unbelievable amount of time researching some of these issues that have been boiled down to one page: consulting with other experts, citing specific sources as a backup, reviewing my work, and coming to a final conclusion.”
— Jeff S, an advisor in Missouri
“It’s brilliant to boil complex planning strategies into a one-page flowchart. It totally beats having to read 4 -5 articles to understand each nuance and exception, especially on the tax issues.”
— Meghan, an advisor in Georgia
