Turning 50 changes your financial to-do list. ✅
Jay shares a few things worth thinking about as you head into the last stretch of your working years:
• What debt is left (mortgage, car loans)?
• What does retirement actually look like for you? Moving to the coast or the mountains, or staying put?
• What might your expenses be in retirement, and how much income will that take?
Everyone's situation is different. Want to map out yours?

What does a financial advisor actually do? 🧩
It's more than picking investments. Ken and Jay talk about helping clients see where they're trying to go, spot potential problems early, and fit the pieces together: cash flow, taxes, estate and insurance planning, with investments as one piece of the puzzle.
Curious how the pieces fit for you? Let's talk.

Thinking about a big purchase? Try this gut check. 🔥
Picture taking that same amount of money into your front yard and setting it on fire. If it wouldn't change your life financially, you may be in a position to enjoy it.
It's a rule of thumb, not a full plan. Big decisions still deserve a look at how they fit your income, savings and long-term goals.

The real prize isn't more stuff. It's options.
Ken explains why we like to talk about financial independence instead of "retirement": getting to a point where work is a choice, not a requirement. Maybe you keep working because you love what you do or who you do it with. That's the kind of flexibility a thoughtful plan aims to create.
What would more options look like for you? Let's talk it through.

How do you know when you can afford the boat? (Or the car, the lake house… fill in the blank.)

Here's a rule of thumb we like: picture taking that same amount of money into the front yard and setting it on fire. If it wouldn't change your life financially, you're probably in a position to enjoy it.

It's a gut check, not a full plan. Big purchases still deserve a look at how they fit with your income, savings and long-term goals.

Thinking about a big purchase? Let's talk it through first.

You'd get a second opinion before surgery. Why not on your life savings?

A portfolio can look fine on a statement and still have problems: fees you haven't checked, more risk than you meant to take or accounts that don't work together.

A fresh look from a fiduciary shows you where you stand. You're under no obligation afterward.

Bring your statements and we'll tell you what we see.

Starting late isn't the same as starting too late.

At 50 you become eligible for catch-up contributions, so you can put more into retirement accounts each year.

These are often your highest-earning years, too. With a plan that makes full use of them, the next decade can close a lot of the gap.

Let's see what your next 10 years could look like. 📞 803.462.4396

Extended care is one of the biggest retirement costs, and it almost never shows up in the budget.

Medicare covers very little long-term care, so the bill for in-home help, assisted living or a nursing facility usually lands on your savings.

You can insure it, pay for it yourself or combine the two. Every one of those options costs more and offers fewer choices the longer you wait.

Let's work out how you'd cover it before you need to. 📞 803.462.4396

Lump sum or monthly check? Most people only get to make this pension choice once.

A monthly pension pays you for life with no market risk, but you give up flexibility and depending on the option you pick, your spouse may get less.

A lump sum gives you control and something to pass on, but managing the risk becomes your job.

The right answer depends on your health, your spouse and whatever other income you'll have

Let's compare both before you sign the election form.

What does "retiring on your terms" actually look like for you?

For some, it means traveling the country in an RV. For others, simply drinking coffee on the porch in peace. There is no one-size-fits-all retirement.

But getting there requires a specific, personalized strategy that shifts your hard-earned money from "growth mode" into a reliable, steady income stream.

At Cornerstone, we sit down, listen to exactly what you want your next chapter to look like and build the step-by-step roadmap to make it happen.
