Did you know the 5 years before and after retirement are the most critical for your portfolio? 📊

This window is known as the "Retirement Risk Zone." A sharp market downturn during this transition can jeopardize decades of disciplined saving—especially once withdrawals begin.

According to retirement expert Dr. Wade Pfau (via Morningstar), protecting your wealth during this phase requires proactive planning:

✅ Structuring a predictable income stream for immediate cash flow needs

✅ Building a "delay bridge" if holding off on Social Security

✅ De-risking vulnerable assets before retirement without sacrificing long-term inflation protection

You've worked hard to build your retirement savings—let's make sure it's protected against sequence-of-returns risk.

You might be hitting Medicare eligibility if:
- You remember when MTV actually played music videos, and you watched Back to the Future in a movie theater during its original run.
- Your idea of "streaming" used to involve a garden hose or waiting 45 minutes for a dial-up modem to connect.
- A "wild Friday night" now wraps up around 8:45 PM—because the couch is comfortable and 9:00 PM is basically the middle of the night.
- You and George Clooney, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Eddie Murphy all share the exact same vintage (Class of 1961).
- Your mailbox has suddenly transformed into a giant stack of Medicare flyers and supplemental plan guides.

If this sounds suspiciously familiar, welcome to the 65 club!

Turning 65 means your Initial Enrollment Period for Medicare is officially on the horizon. Don’t let the sea of paperwork overwhelm you—reach out today to walk through your options and get your coverage dialed in.
