Retirement is a significant milestone, especially for school district employees who have dedicated their careers to shaping the future. While pensions offer a foundational level of security, they’re often not enough to cover the entirety of retirement expenses. Healthcare, inflation, and unexpected costs can quickly strain a pension that seemed solid on paper. That’s where Brett Moore steps in. With years of experience in retirement income planning, he’s earned the trust of school district employees by ensuring they have a dependable and steady source of retirement funds.
Why Pensions Aren’t Always Enough
For many employees under CalSTRS or CalPERS, pensions provide guaranteed income. However, this income typically replaces only a percentage of pre-retirement earnings, leaving retirees with a gap between what they receive and what they actually need to maintain their lifestyle. Can you afford to rely solely on your pension?
Brett Moore understands the unique challenges faced by school district employees and offers comprehensive pension reviews to determine exactly how much income can be expected. He walks employees through how their pension is calculated—based on years of service, final salary, and retirement age—while identifying any potential shortfalls. The reality is that many school district employees aren’t fully aware of the gaps in their pension plans until it’s too late. Brett’s approach ensures you’re prepared to cover these gaps and avoid financial strain.
Bridging the Gap with Supplemental Accounts
To bridge the income gap, Brett Moore turns to supplemental savings vehicles like 403(b) plans, which offer tax advantages and an opportunity to grow additional retirement savings. While many school district employees contribute to these plans, the key to success lies in maximizing their potential. Brett helps employees choose the right investment strategies within their 403(b) plans, ensuring a balance between growth and security.
Brett’s expertise allows employees to optimize their contributions, so they are positioned to build a more robust retirement income stream.

The Importance of a Written Income Strategy
Having a pension and a supplemental account like a 403(b) is a great start, but how you manage withdrawals and structure your income flow can make all the difference in your financial security. Brett Moore creates personalized written income strategies that outline exactly how and when to tap into these accounts. This ensures that school district employees maintain a stable income throughout their retirement years, even as expenses fluctuate.
With Brett’s guidance, common mistakes—such as withdrawing too much too early or failing to account for rising healthcare costs—are avoided. His goal is simple: to ensure that no school district employee outlives their money. Brett’s approach prioritizes income stability, aiming to provide reliable support for retirement needs, even in varying market conditions.
Tax Planning: Maximizing Your Retirement Income
Many school district employees don’t fully understand the tax implications of their retirement income. With pensions and 403(b) withdrawals subject to taxation, failing to plan appropriately can significantly reduce the amount of money you take home in retirement. Brett helps school district employees navigate the complex world of taxes, offering strategies that minimize tax burdens and maximize income.
By ensuring that your 403(b) withdrawals are structured correctly and your pension income is optimized, Brett helps you keep more of your hard-earned money. His tax planning strategies are designed to provide financial stability while avoiding any surprises from the IRS.
