Did you know that healthcare expenses are one of the largest costs many retirees face?

While most people spend years preparing for retirement, healthcare costs are often underestimated. Even with Medicare, retirees may still be responsible for premiums, deductibles, copays, prescription costs, and long-term care expenses.

A few questions worth considering:
• Do you know what Medicare does and doesn't cover?
• Have you reviewed your Health Savings Account (HSA) strategy?
• Could a major healthcare event impact your retirement income plan?
• Have you discussed long-term care options with your family?

Planning for healthcare is just as important as planning for retirement income. Taking time now to understand your options can help reduce stress and provide greater confidence in the future.

How do you know if you're on track for retirement?

One of the most common questions we hear from clients is, "Am I saving enough?"

While everyone's financial situation and retirement goals are unique, it can be helpful to see how your savings compare to others in your age group. A recent Fidelity study found that average retirement account balances vary significantly across generations, highlighting the importance of starting early, staying consistent, and maintaining a long-term perspective.

The study also reinforces an important principle: individuals who consistently contribute to their retirement accounts over time tend to build substantially larger balances than those who save sporadically.

At Ameriprise, we believe retirement planning is about more than comparing numbers. It's about understanding your goals, creating a personalized strategy, and making informed decisions that help you stay on track through every stage of life.

Whether you're just beginning your career, approaching retirement, or already enjoying retirement, having a plan in place can help provide clarity and confidence for the future.

If you've been wondering whether your retirement strategy is aligned with your goals, now is a great time to review your progress and make sure your financial plan reflects where you want to go.

Back-to-school season is a reminder that preparation creates confidence.
As families get backpacks packed, schedules organized, and goals set for a new school year, it's also a great time to think about your financial future. Just like a successful school year starts with a plan, long-term financial success starts with small, intentional steps taken today.

Whether you're saving for education, preparing for life's milestones, or working toward retirement, having the right strategy can help you stay focused on what matters most.

This season, give yourself the same gift you give your students: a strong foundation for success.
