If you’re like many people approaching retirement, one of the biggest questions on your mind is:
“How do I turn my nest egg into income I won’t outlive?”
After decades of diligently saving in your 401(k)s, IRAs, and brokerage accounts, it’s time to shift gears. Now, the focus changes to how you withdraw from your nest egg - and that’s where things get complicated.
Because it’s not just about what you’ve saved - It’s about how you spend it.
Without a solid retirement withdrawal strategy, you could:
Run out of money sooner than expected
Overpay in taxes
Miss the chance to optimize Social Security or avoid Medicare surcharges
A smart retirement income plan includes:
✅ When to withdraw from taxable, pre-tax, and Roth accounts
✅ Planning around Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs)
✅ Timing your Social Security benefits strategically
✅ Managing tax brackets (now and in the future)
✅ Avoiding IRMAA surcharges on Medicare
✅ Identifying opportunities for Roth conversions
With the right plan, you can enjoy retirement with more confidence, knowing your money will last and support the lifestyle you’ve worked so hard for.
📅 If you’re over the age of 50 and are starting to think seriously about retirement, let’s talk about building a tax-smart, sustainable income strategy that fits your life.
