Dr. Sabrina Scott promotes the idea of pre-planning for financial stability before retirement rather than waiting for a crisis to erupt in retirement and then attempting to plan a survival strategy.

DECATUR, GA, February 11, 2019: Dr. Sabrina Scott, co-founder of Red Feather Financial, has posted a new blog on the firm’s website entitled “Pre-Planning Is A Better Option Than Crisis Planning.” Dr. Scott offers ideas for those who have yet to create a solid financial plan while encouraging even those approaching retirement to explore their options with an advisor.

Dr. Scott writes, “Crises during retirement can come in many forms: job loss, unexpected divorce, unreimbursed catastrophic medical expenses, natural disaster, lawsuit, relocation, disability, care for an elderly family member or untimely death of a family breadwinner.” She adds, “Experiencing these financial setbacks in retirement can be especially overwhelming.”

“This is why we encourage thoughtful pre-planning instead of waiting for a crisis,” says Scott. She elaborates, “With pre-planning, you can weather a crisis while making the recovery period faster and less painful.”

According to Dr. Scott, “If you can work with a financial planner, that could be very helpful.” She continues with a few ideas for those who are not yet ready to seek advice.

Dr. Scott points out, “When you pre-plan for your future and you are still working, if you have a retirement plan at work, such as a 401(k) or 403(b), and your employer makes matching contributions, be sure to participate and save the most you can to earn 100 percent of the matching contributions.”

About Dr. Sabrina Scott

Sabrina Scott learned about Veterans Benefits and Medicaid when her parents sought legal services for long-term care. Confident she could find ways to preserve her family’s resources and still get access to Government Assistance, Sabrina felt there should be more options than relying on welfare. As a result, Dr. Scott became an investment advisor representative who can make recommendations regarding securities and became licensed in insurance as well. She co-founded Red Feather Financial with Victoria Collier to help those who want to have a plan in place in order not to outlive their resources and who do not want to be a burden to their children.
