Title: Unexpected Medical Bill Buster: A Golden Door Asset Case Study Tagline: Safeguarding Your Retirement Nest Egg From Healthcare Shocks Problem: A retired individual faced a sudden and substantial medical bill, threatening to deplete their retirement savings prematurely and impact their long-term financial stability. The client’s existing investment portfolio, while diversified, lacked a readily accessible contingency fund to cover such emergencies without triggering significant tax implications or disrupting their planned income stream. Solution: Golden Door Asset implemented a three-pronged approach: (1) We established a Health Savings Account (HSA) rollover strategy to provide tax-advantaged funds specifically earmarked for healthcare expenses. (2) We re-evaluated the client's asset allocation, identifying underperforming assets that could be strategically reallocated to higher-yielding, more liquid investments without increasing overall portfolio risk. (3) We developed a customized withdrawal strategy that prioritized drawing down from taxable accounts before tapping into retirement accounts, minimizing the tax burden and preserving long-term growth potential. ROI: By implementing this comprehensive strategy, the client was able to cover the unexpected medical expenses without significantly impacting their retirement savings. We protected over $150,000 in retirement funds from early withdrawal penalties and taxes, ensuring the client's long-term financial security and providing peace of mind. This also allowed for continued portfolio growth, potentially adding hundreds of thousands to the client's estate over their retirement. Description: This case study showcases how Golden Door Asset helped a retiree navigate unexpected medical expenses without jeopardizing their long-term financial security. We demonstrate a tailored solution leveraging strategic asset allocation and targeted financial planning to absorb unforeseen costs and preserve retirement income. Category: Client Service
