Retirement Spending Won't Stay the Same

Many people enter retirement with a vision of what life—and spending—will look like. The reality is that it often takes time to find your new normal.

In this clip, Rose Price, CFP®, AIF®, and Chris Mellone, CFA, CFP®, AIF®, discuss why the first 12 to 24 months of retirement are often a period of adjustment. More travel, new hobbies, and changes to your daily routine can all impact spending in ways that are difficult to predict ahead of time.

Turning 65 and enrolling in Medicare is an important retirement milestone, but healthcare costs don’t disappear once Medicare begins.

In our latest blog, Liz Williams, financial advisor, looks at some of the Medicare expenses retirees may not anticipate, from premiums and deductibles to coverage gaps and out-of-pocket costs. She also explores how financial decisions such as IRA withdrawals, Roth conversions, and capital gains can affect Medicare premiums and why those potential costs should be considered as part of your broader retirement strategy.

Don’t Delay Social Security

In this clip Rose Price, CFP®, AIF®, and Chris Mellone, CFA, CFP®, AIF®, share a client example that illustrates why Social Security planning involves more than simply maximizing benefits. Every situation is different, and the right claiming strategy depends on how Social Security fits into your broader retirement income plan.

What is exit planning?

Exit planning doesn’t necessarily mean you’re ready to sell your business. In fact, starting the conversation years before you plan to step away can give you more time and flexibility to prepare for whatever comes next.

In this video, Andrew Fincher, CFP®, CEPA®, AIF®, explains why business owners should think about exit planning well before a transition is on the horizon. From reducing the business’s dependence on you and developing key employees to improving processes, profitability, and overall business value, starting early gives you the runway to identify opportunities and make meaningful changes over time.

Your eventual transition could mean selling to a third party, passing the business to family, transitioning ownership to a key employee, or continuing to work longer than expected. You don’t need to have that answer today. Exit planning is about building a business—and a plan—that gives you options when the time comes.
