MoneyGuidePro Scheduled Maintenance: March 28-29
In a continuing effort to better serve our customers, MoneyGuidePro will be performing network maintenance from Saturday March 28 at 12:30 am through Sunday March 29 at 5:00 pm ET and will be unavailable during that time. We expect the majority of disruptions to occur between 12:30 am and 12:00 noon ET on Saturday, but need to reserve the right to perform functions throughout the maintenance window that could intermittently impact website availability. This planned maintenance will not affect MoneyGuidePro functionality or plan results.

We apologize for any inconvenience.
In the news: Study shows goal-based planning improves saving
A recent article at WealthManagement.com highlights a 2015 Consumer Federation of America study of savings habits in America. The study finds that having a plan helps people save more and spend less. Those with a plan tend to be more conscientious with money and are far more likely to name higher goals— and save enough for retirement.

Spotlighted Feature:
Social Security Maximization


 
What is the best Social Security strategy for your client? MoneyGuidePro's comprehensive Social Security Maximization tool automatically compares up to six strategies, showing both the net present value of the benefit stream and the probability of success for the plan. While maximizing the total benefit always seems attractive, in some plans, there's a different strategy that provides the highest probability of success.

Check out the Social Security Maximization feature in the Results section of any financial goal plan under Details.
