Advisor analysis – Brenda Hiscock

If Mike and Gary want to continue with a lavish lifestyle into the future, I suggest they cut back a bit for the remainder of Mike’s career in order to amass funds for retirement. They currently only have enough to fund about three years of their lifestyle, and they have life expectancies of about 85 years, so they are very unprepared at this time.
