Many of the conversations I'm having with clients right now start in the same way – with the news. Clients see market-driven headlines and ask: "How does this affect me and my life?"

Retirement planning isn't just about saving. It's about knowing what you're saving for. If you're within 5–10 years of retirement, these five questions are worth considering:

- When do you want to retire?
- How do you want to spend your days?
- Where do you want to live?
- What will your lifestyle cost?
- Does your plan include giving back?

Your answers are just the starting point. The next step is aligning them with a financial strategy built around the life you actually want. Ready to get started? Let’s talk.

Many people assume financial confidence comes with age. In my experience, it's not quite that simple.

New research from Edward Jones and Gallup shows that people across generations share concerns about their financial future. Younger adults are often working to build wealth, while older adults are focused on making their savings last. But both are looking for greater peace of mind about what's ahead.

That's one reason I enjoy helping clients create personalized strategies that align with their goals and priorities, both today and as their needs evolve over time.

Older adults are much more confident than younger adults in managing their current finances. Confidence in managing future finances, however, differs less by age.

I'm encouraged to see that Gen Z is already thinking about building long-term financial security. Yet research shows many young adults still haven't taken the first step by participating in a workplace retirement plan.

As a financial advisor, I know that getting started can often be the hardest part of saving and investing. Having access to the right resources, education and guidance can help individuals build healthy financial habits and greater confidence in their future.

That's why I find it so rewarding to help people make progress toward their goals, so they can feel more confident about their future.
