Williamsville FAQs
How soon can we retire? As soon as your plan supports your after-tax lifestyle through bad-sequence tests and inflation.
Do we need a big cash pile? You need the right amount—typically 2–4 years of withdrawals in cash/short bonds; the rest stays invested.
Is an annuity helpful? Sometimes as an income floor for fixed expenses; we’ll compare it to a pure-market approach.
