PRE-RETIREMENT STRATEGIES
Age 60-70 Years
You've Worked Long Enough. Now Let's Start Planning the Fun Part.
For many people between ages 60 and 70, retirement stops being a someday dream and starts becoming wonderfully real.
Maybe you've spent years getting up before sunrise, rushing to work, meeting deadlines, and putting everyone else's priorities ahead of your own. You've worked hard, raised families, paid mortgages, and done all the things responsible people do.
Now, it's time to start thinking about the next chapter.
Not because you're old.
Because you've earned it.
This is the season to dream a little. To think about the bucket list. To imagine what life looks like when the alarm clock doesn't go off at 5:00 in the morning. Maybe it's more golf. More travel. More time with grandchildren. More fishing, volunteering, hobbies, or simply enjoying a cup of coffee without having to be somewhere.
Retirement isn't the end of something.
It's the beginning of the next third of your life.
And while it's exciting, this is also the season to make some important decisions. Questions about Medicare, Social Security, income, healthcare, protecting your savings, and long-term care all begin to move from "I'll deal with that later" to "I should probably figure this out."
The good news?
You don't have to have all the answers today.
But this is the right time to put together the pieces, make thoughtful decisions, and prepare not only for financial confidence—but for a retirement filled with purpose, freedom, and fun.
After all, you've spent a lifetime working hard.
Now let's prepare to enjoy it.

Common Pre-Retirement Mistakes
Most retirement mistakes aren't caused by bad decisions.
They're caused by delaying important decisions.
Some of the most common challenges I see include:
-
Waiting too long to develop an income strategy.
-
Entering Medicare without understanding the options.
-
Taking unnecessary market risk close to retirement.
-
Focusing only on investments while neglecting income planning.
-
Ignoring long-term care concerns until it becomes a crisis.
-
Believing they need more money before seeking advice.
-
Waiting for "the perfect time" instead of creating a plan.
You don't have to have everything figured out.
But this is the right season to execute and make thoughtful decisions while you still have the most options available.
