Whether buying a home, saving for college, or gearing up for retirement, life planning means making tough decisions.
At Wachovia, we realize these decisions can be confusing and overwhelming, and that’s why we’ve created a wide variety of guides, charts and calculators to help you at every step along the way. No matter where you are on life’s journey, you can count on us to be a valuable resource when you need direction.
Home Buying
Buying a home is exciting and challenging, and it is probably the biggest purchase you’ll ever make. We offer a complete home buying and relocation guide to help you through the process, and tell you everything you need to know to make your move a success. Our mortgage calculator will help you compare fixed rate and adjustable rate mortgages, and determine which type of loan will suit your needs.
College Planning
A college education is one of the most important investments you can make in your future or the future of your family. We can help you determine the best way to save and pay for an education, whether you are a parent or a student. Our college savings worksheet will show you how much you need to save for a four-year education starting today.
If you are considering applying for Federal financial aid, use our Federal Stafford Loan Repayment Calculator to determine what your student loan payments will be, and our Federal Consolidation Loan Calculator to estimate lower payments after consolidation.
We can also help you plan for repaying college costs and build a strong financial future after college.
Retirement Planning
It is never too soon to begin thinking about your retirement years. If you are new to the process, we have many tools to help you determine how much you need to save, and how much to set aside to live the kind of life you want. If you want to evaluate your current plan or are already retired, we can help you shape your retirement strategy to fit your needs and lifestyle.
Our Retirement "Quick View" calculator will help you assess your retirement readiness, and our Retirement Income Needs Estimator to determine how much income you’ll need during your retirement years. Our in-depth Retirement Planning Calculator will help you determine if you are on track or in danger of having your savings fall short of what you’ll need.
