How Will You Spend It?
You’ve spent years working hard, saving diligently and growing your assets — but are you truly ready for retirement? Do you have a solid financial plan to see you to and through retirement? Hint: Your savings is not a plan. It’s just the tool to help you live your best life. In his book, “New Jersey Retirement Roadmap,” Bill Skillender uses relatable stories and honest advice to answer your most pressing questions, including:
Is the 4% rule still accurate?
How bad can the stock market get?
Do I really need a financial advisor?
And more!

Guarantees and protections provided by insurance products, including annuities, are backed by the financial strength and claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance carrier. Annuities are not bank or FDIC insured.


Women & Retirement
While retirement planning is essential for everyone, women often face unique circumstances. For instance, women tend to live longer than men, meaning your retirement savings need to last longer. Additionally, many women experience an earnings gap due to a variety of factors, including taking time off to care for family. These interruptions can lead to lower overall savings and reduced Social Security benefits.
At William Skillender Wealth Management and Tax Advisory, we understand the importance of creating a personalized strategy that considers these aspects and aligns with your long-term financial goals.
