Retirement Income Planning in New Jersey

Creating a reliable, tax-efficient income stream in retirement requires coordinating multiple sources: Social Security, pensions, IRAs, annuities, and investment portfolios. Doug builds retirement income plans that are designed to last.

TL;DR — Quick Answer

Retirement income planning coordinates all your income sources — Social Security, pensions, IRAs, annuities, and investments — into a tax-efficient strategy designed to last your lifetime. The goal is to create a reliable income floor, manage sequence-of-returns risk, and minimize taxes on every dollar you receive.

The transition from accumulating wealth to distributing it is one of the most complex financial challenges you will face. During your working years, the goal was simple: save as much as possible. In retirement, the goal shifts to creating a reliable, tax-efficient income stream that lasts as long as you do.

Doug Robb Jr. builds retirement income plans using "The Back Nine Plan" framework — a comprehensive approach that addresses income, taxes, investments, healthcare, and legacy. The plan is designed to help you finish strong, just as a golfer aims to close out the back nine with confidence.

Sequence-of-Returns Risk is one of the greatest threats to retirement income. A significant market decline in the early years of retirement — when you are withdrawing from your portfolio — can permanently impair your financial security. Doug addresses this risk through a combination of guaranteed income sources (Social Security, pensions, annuities) and a disciplined withdrawal strategy.
