Sound Familiar?

You've Done Everything Right.
So Why Doesn't It All Add Up?

You've saved. You've contributed to your 401(k). You may even work with a financial advisor. But when it comes to turning what you've built into a clear, coordinated plan for income, taxes, and spending, everything suddenly gets complicated.

Retirement planning today can feel like trying to put together a puzzle without knowing what the picture on the box looks like. Between taxes, investments, Social Security, healthcare, and hundreds of competing opinions online, it's no wonder so many smart, successful people feel stuck.

"I know I should be doing Roth conversions, but I don't know how much, or when."

Roth strategy isn't just about moving money. It's about understanding your future tax brackets, your RMDs, and your Social Security income to find the window where conversions make the most sense for your specific situation. Many advisors never model this.

"My advisor manages my portfolio, but nobody is actually planning my retirement."

There's a real difference between portfolio management and retirement planning. If every meeting is about investment performance and nobody's discussing withdrawal sequencing, tax strategy, or income coordination, you have a money manager, not a planner.

"I feel like I'm paying more in taxes than I should, but I can't figure out how to fix it."

Without a coordinated tax strategy, many retirees overpay across their retirement. The decisions that drive that such as which accounts to draw from, when to convert, and how to manage brackets require a real plan, not guesswork.

"I've tried spreadsheets, calculators, and piecing advice together, and it still doesn't feel complete."

This isn't complicated because you're not smart enough. It's complicated because all the pieces such as taxes, income, Social Security, healthcare only make sense when someone connects them into one coordinated picture.

The problem isn't you, it's the system.
Traditional financial advice is built around products and portfolios.
What's missing is a clear, personalized plan that ties everything together.

Every year without a coordinated plan is another year making withdrawal and conversion decisions in isolation: decisions that compound over time, and get harder to unwind.

We regularly work with people who came to us after spending thousands of dollars on what they thought was a comprehensive retirement plan, only to find their questions still weren't being answered. A plan that doesn't give you clarity isn't really a plan.

That's exactly what the Retirement Time Machine™ was built to solve.
About Money Evolution

At Money Evolution, we've been helping people plan their retirements for over 30 years. We've worked with hundreds of individuals and families to build clear, actionable retirement plans.

I founded Money Evolution to do things differently, to create standalone financial plans that aren't tied to where you invest your money so you get the advice you deserve, not the advice that benefits someone else.

Where Many Plans Have Room to Improve

Tax Planning Is One of the Most
Underutilized Opportunities in Retirement.

Many retirement plans focus on whether you have enough saved. The Retirement Time Machine™ goes further, because how you withdraw and when you convert can be just as important as how much you've accumulated. This is where we spend a significant portion of your planning engagement.

Roth Conversion Planning

Identify your conversion window and build a multi year strategy designed to reduce future RMDs and create more flexibility in retirement.

Withdrawal Sequencing

Know exactly which accounts to draw from and in what order to help manage your tax burden and support your portfolio's longevity year after year.

Tax Bracket Management

Map out your retirement tax brackets year by year to identify planning opportunities before it's too late to act on them.

Social Security & RMD Coordination

Coordinate Social Security timing with your withdrawal strategy and RMDs in a way that can help manage tax spikes in retirement.

How It Works

Three Steps to Complete
Retirement Clarity

You don't need another investment pitch or a stack of confusing reports. You need a process that shows you the big picture and lets you act with confidence.

1
Schedule Your Free Intro Call

We start with a short conversation to learn about you: what's most important, what you're worried about, and what retirement looks like for you. We'll walk you through how the Retirement Time Machine™ works and confirm it's the right fit. No pitch. No pressure. Just an honest conversation.

2
We Build Your Personalized Plan

You complete a simple FactFinder with the key details we need. Then we do all the heavy lifting: organizing your income, assets, taxes, Social Security, and benefits into one cohesive picture. We model your retirement across multiple scenarios so you see exactly what's possible and what's at stake.

3
Get Clarity, Confidence & a Roadmap

We meet one on one to walk through your complete plan, answer your questions, and finalize your strategy together. You'll walk away knowing exactly where you stand, what to do next, and how every decision connects. Clarity. Confidence. A concrete action plan.

What "We Do the Heavy Lifting" Looks Like

Your Plan Is Built
Before You Ever See It.

After your intro call, we go to work. Using your FactFinder, we organize every piece of your financial picture like income, taxes, Social Security, investments, healthcare, and build a complete retirement model around your specific situation.

You show up to your plan presentation ready to see results, not to answer more questions.

What We'll Work On Together

Every Plan Is Customized.
Here's What We Cover.

Many advisors focus on one piece. We coordinate all of them so every decision works together instead of against each other.

Priority Focus
Tax & Roth Conversion Strategy

We map your lifetime tax picture, identify your Roth conversion window, and build a bracket management strategy designed to help minimize what you pay to the IRS, not just this year, but across your entire retirement.

Priority Focus
Retirement Withdrawal Planning

Which accounts do you draw from first, and when? We build a specific withdrawal sequence around your accounts, your timeline, and your tax situation to help your money last and keep your tax burden as manageable as possible.

Income Planning
Income & Cash Flow Planning

Identify your predictable income sources, close any gaps, and map out a year by year cash flow picture so you always know exactly where your money is coming from, and that it's enough.

Benefits Optimization
Social Security Optimization

Coordinate timing and spousal strategies to make the most of your benefits, including how your claiming decision interacts with your overall tax strategy in ways that can cause unnecessary tax spikes in retirement.

Risk Planning
Healthcare & Lifestyle Planning

Prepare for healthcare costs, Medicare decisions, and lifestyle shifts so you can retire on your terms without the unpleasant surprises that catch many people off guard.

Your Roadmap
Action Plan & Roadmap

Walk away with a clear, prioritized list of exactly what to do, when to do it, and how each step fits your larger plan, described in plain English, not financial jargon.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the free intro call?

It's a short, no pressure conversation, typically 20 to 30 minutes, where we learn about your situation, answer your questions about the process, and make sure the Retirement Time Machine™ is the right fit. There's no pitch and no obligation. If it's not the right fit, we'll tell you that honestly.

Do I have to move my money or change where I invest?

No, and this is central to what makes us different. The Retirement Time Machine™ is standalone financial planning. We build your plan regardless of where your accounts are held, and you can keep your existing investments and relationships. What you get is a clear, coordinated strategy built on top of where you are today. Investment management is available through Money Evolution for clients who want it, but it's never required, and the plan stands completely on its own.

I already have an advisor or manage my own investments. Is this still right for me?

Yes, and this is one of the more common situations we work with. Many people have an advisor who manages their portfolio well but doesn't do comprehensive retirement planning. The Retirement Time Machine™ is designed to fill that gap, giving you the tax strategy, Roth conversion plan, withdrawal sequencing, and income coordination that comprehensive retirement planning requires. Many clients share their completed plan with their existing advisor afterward.

How long does the process take?

Once you complete your FactFinder, your plan is typically ready within a few business days, and your first meeting can usually be scheduled the following week. Follow up meetings are spaced a week or two apart, depending on what works for your schedule. Most clients move through the full process in three to four weeks.

What does the $2,900 include?

Everything: your personalized retirement plan, the Blueprint Review session, two follow up strategy sessions with Bill, written summaries after each meeting, 12 months of weekly office hours, lifetime access to the Retirement Time Machine™ video library and planning guides, and your eMoney planning portal. One flat fee: no recurring charges, no hidden costs.

What's the planning fee guarantee?

If after your first two meetings the plan isn't what you expected or your questions aren't being answered to your satisfaction, we'll refund your planning fee in full. This applies to the planning fee only and is separate from any investment related fees or returns. We've stood behind this commitment throughout our history and have always done whatever it takes to make sure clients leave with a plan they're confident in.

Is this right for someone who is already retired?

Absolutely. Many clients come to us already retired, looking for answers to questions their current situation hasn't addressed, or simply wanting to know their plan is as good as it can be. Whether that's reviewing their tax strategy, exploring Roth conversion opportunities, optimizing withdrawal sequencing, or working through any of the other areas we cover, the Retirement Time Machine™ is designed to be just as useful after retirement as before it.
