Are you ready to take control of your retirement planning? With the DIY Retirement Projections membership, you’ll gain access to intuitive, user-friendly retirement planning software. Plus, you’ll receive our ongoing support to help you confidently create and refine your own retirement plan!
That’s right – we encourage you to be your own retirement income planner!
And our fees are a fraction of the cost that some fee-only-planners charge since we do not offer advice, we do not have staff to maintain, we do not seek out assets under management but instead – we just want to provide access to a quality platform to support your retirement readiness.
This is a different solution than our Done-For-You services.
You can compare both solutions here.
Our Do-it-Yourself (DIY) Solution
As passionate DIY investors, we developed Cashflows and Portfolios as a value-added free resource for any Canadian to access anywhere anytime. That said, we know some DIY investors absolutely want to do more – including all the retirement planning and projections work themselves.
Leveraging the Adviice platform and our financial expertise, now you can become your own planner!
Example: Final Plan – Projections navigation menu.
What is it? With the Adviice platform, you take the reins. You create your own retirement plan by controlling all the inputs, data, and outcomes—testing any scenario you can imagine! Along the way, we’re here to support you with both financial and technical guidance to ensure you stay on track.
Get 24/7 access to this DIY Projections Solution where you can enter your own goals, financial numbers, and find out for yourself answers to pressing questions like: Do I have enough to retire? When could I retire? Will I run out of money in retirement – how fast will my portfolio go down in retirement? Create unlimited hypothetical scenarios (i.e., what if I sell my house this year or in 5 years) and update your plan as changes occur.
Who is this for? Tech-savvy folks who enjoy using software and are very comfortable with using software on their own. They also have medium to high financial literacy – they are comfortable being their own planner. There is built-in Help support in the solution to help you out. Our pricing below includes our ongoing support and guidance to you as you use the Adviice platform, building your own plan and scenarios.
