Cuando subes una montana pareciera que llegar a la cima es el objetivo, sin embargo, el verdadero objetivo es bajar y llegar al punto de partida sano y salvo.

En el contexto de las finanzas es exactamente igual. El subir la montana es el equiparable al proceso de acumulación, esto en tu vida financiera son todos los anos que inviertes en acumular bines y dinero para un día tener la opción de retirarte. Y el proceso de bajar la montana, es el equiparable al proceso de distribución, que es el como segmentar lo acumulado durante el retiro. Este ultimo es sumamente importante para tus finanzas, ya que no se sabe cuantos anos vas a vivir, cuales son las probabilidades que quedarte sin dinero, y en dado caso, que hacer si esto pasa.

Trabajemos juntos y definamos una estrategia que te ayude a mejorar las probabilidades de éxito en tus metas financieras. Estoy seguro de que estarás muy contento con el resultado.
