Thinking About Claiming Social Security Early Because COLAs Are Rising?

With the 2027 Social Security cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) currently projected to be higher than 2026’s 2.8% increase, some retirees may wonder whether they should claim benefits now to take advantage of it.

But a larger COLA doesn’t necessarily mean claiming sooner is the better strategy.

For those who can afford to wait, delaying Social Security can significantly increase future monthly income. After full retirement age, benefits generally increase by about 8% for each year you delay, up to age 70.

And you don’t necessarily miss out on COLAs by waiting. Because cost-of-living adjustments are incorporated into Social Security’s benefit calculations, delaying can result in a larger benefit—and future COLAs are then applied to that larger amount.

Of course, there is no single claiming age that works for everyone. Your health, longevity expectations, retirement income, taxes, spouse’s benefits, and overall financial plan should all be considered.

The important takeaway: Don’t make a Social Security decision based on one year’s COLA. Look at the bigger retirement picture.

At Sage Investment Advisers, we can help you evaluate how Social Security fits into your overall retirement income strategy.

Is the K-shaped economy starting to converge?

The “K-shaped economy” has become a familiar way to describe the widening financial divide between higher- and lower-income households. But recent economic data suggests that the picture may be becoming more complicated.

Bank of America Institute data cited by CNBC showed lower-income households’ after-tax wages growing at a 5.2% annual pace in July, surpassing growth among higher-income households for the first time since December 2024. Consumer spending growth across income groups has also begun to converge.

At the same time, significant financial pressures remain.

Housing affordability continues to strain household budgets. Some lower-credit borrowers are showing increased delinquency rates, student loan payments are affecting household cash flow, and even higher-income consumers are becoming more cautious with discretionary spending.

Whether economists ultimately describe the economy as K-shaped, C-shaped or something else, there is a larger lesson for investors:

Economic conditions change. A well-constructed financial plan needs to be prepared to change with them.

Rather than making financial decisions based on a single economic narrative, investors should consider how changes in wages, inflation, interest rates, housing costs and market performance may affect their individual financial strategy.

At Sage Investment Advisers, we help clients build long-term strategies designed around their goals—not the latest economic label.

Most people spend far more time researching their new lawn mower or SUV and not nearly enough time researching a company, an investment, or crypto.

Always conduct due diligence. Do your own homework vs relying blindly on a tip from others.

Thinking About Rolling Over Your 401(k)? Don’t Make the Decision Too Quickly.

When changing jobs or entering retirement, rolling a 401(k) into an IRA can seem like the natural next step. But a rollover isn’t automatically the right choice—and in some cases, the decision may be difficult or impossible to reverse.

Before moving retirement assets, consider:

• Fees can make a meaningful difference. Both 401(k)s and IRAs have investment expenses, but employer-sponsored plans may have access to lower-cost institutional share classes. Even seemingly small differences in annual fees can compound into significant differences over a long retirement.

• More investment choices aren't always better. IRAs generally offer a wider range of investments, while 401(k) plans typically provide a curated selection chosen by the employer under its fiduciary responsibilities.

• Flexibility differs. An IRA may provide greater flexibility for investments and retirement withdrawals. On the other hand, some 401(k) plans allow participants to borrow against their account—something you cannot do with an IRA.

• Tax consequences matter. An improperly handled rollover could result in unexpected taxes or penalties.

• You may not have to move your money at all. Many plans allow former employees to leave their retirement savings in the existing 401(k).

And importantly, once assets are moved from a 401(k) to an IRA, the decision may not always be reversible.

Your retirement savings may represent decades of work and disciplined investing. Before making a rollover decision, compare the costs, benefits, investment choices and long-term implications of each option.

At Sage Investment Advisers, we help individuals and families evaluate retirement decisions within the context of their complete financial picture.

Investors should remember that excitement, investment expenses, and short-term taxation are their enemies.

A strong financial plan isn’t built around predicting what happens next. It’s built to prepare for it.

Markets change. Interest rates move. Tax laws evolve. Life rarely follows a perfectly predictable path.

At Sage Investment Advisers, we believe thoughtful financial planning means building a strategy that can adapt—while keeping your long-term goals at the center of every decision.

Whether you're preparing for retirement, already retired, or working to preserve and grow your wealth, having a disciplined plan can help you navigate uncertainty with greater confidence.

Plan for the future. Prepare for change. Stay focused on what matters.

Should you stay invested in stocks after retirement?

For many retirees, the answer is yes—but determining how much exposure to maintain is where thoughtful planning becomes important.

Retirement can last 20, 30, or even more years. Over that time, inflation and rising expenses can gradually reduce purchasing power. A portfolio that becomes too conservative too quickly may struggle to provide the long-term growth needed to support those years.

That doesn’t mean taking unnecessary risk. It means finding an appropriate balance between growth, income, diversification, and capital preservation.

Your allocation should also evolve. Changes in spending, market conditions, income needs, family circumstances, and legacy goals can all affect the amount of investment risk that makes sense.

A retirement portfolio shouldn’t simply become “conservative” on the day you retire. It should be intentionally designed around the retirement you’re planning to live.

At Sage Investment Advisers, we help clients evaluate their retirement strategy and build an investment approach aligned with their needs, goals, and time horizon.

Buying an investment property? Evaluate the location carefully. A property in a higher-demand area tends to hold its value and build value over time.

A strong financial plan isn’t built around predicting the future. It’s built to prepare you for it.

Markets change. Interest rates change. Tax laws change. And life rarely follows a perfectly predictable path.

That’s why financial planning should be about more than choosing investments. A thoughtful strategy considers your goals, income needs, taxes, risk, and the unexpected—so you can make informed decisions as circumstances change.

At Sage Investment Advisers, we believe preparation creates confidence.
