Your monthly household expense number is the most important number in financial planning.

It reflects how you live today — and it’s the number we use to plan your retirement. Every dollar you trim this month is $12 over a year, multiplied again by every year into the future. The lower your monthly expense, the longer your retirement resources may last.

Know it. Shave it. Multiply it. Benefit from it.
A simple discipline

Four steps, real results.

Know it

Most people don’t know their true monthly number. Pin it down — it changes every plan that follows.

Shave it

Shop every recurring bill: phone, cable, subscriptions, streaming, insurance, and more.

Multiply it

A dollar saved monthly is $12 a year — then multiplied across every year ahead.

Why it matters

Expenses meet income in retirement.

Your household expense number has to be matched by retirement income. A little cost-shaving today can have major, positive implications over the years — which is why this is where good planning starts.
