A retirement portfolio should have a purpose beyond simply growing.

Once you retire, one of its most important jobs is turning what you’ve accumulated into income that supports the life you’ve worked so hard to build. That income is what helps fund the trips, dinners, time with family, and everyday experiences that make up your Life of YES.

That’s why the conversation in retirement needs to shift from “How much can my investments grow?” to...

“How can my investments support the income and lifestyle I need?”

Your investments are the fuel, but your retirement is the destination.

Retirement changes the job of your investment portfolio.

During your working years, the focus is often on accumulation—consistently contributing and giving your investments time to recover from market swings. Once retirement begins, you’re doing the opposite: taking money out to support your lifestyle.

That’s why we often say, “What got us here won’t get us there.” The investment strategy that helped you accumulate wealth may not be the same strategy you need to distribute it.

When withdrawals begin, market volatility can have a much greater impact, making it critical to build a portfolio specifically designed to support your retirement income.

At Choules Financial, living a Life of YES means something unique to each member of our team. For Noelle Urbiola, it starts with helping people feel confident about their financial future.

After earning her degree from BYU, becoming a licensed financial advisor, and building her expertise in the financial services industry, Noelle Urbiola joined Choules Financial with a passion for helping clients navigate retirement with clarity and confidence. She believes that when every part of your financial life is working together, you can spend less time worrying about money and more time enjoying what matters most.

Personally, living a Life of YES means saying yes to experiences that bring people together. Whether it's traveling, trying a new restaurant, or gathering with family and friends, Noelle believes the best moments in life happen when you have the confidence to enjoy them without financial uncertainty.

That's why she's passionate about helping clients create a plan that brings together all five worlds of retirement planning—investments, income, taxes, healthcare, and legacy—so clients can focus on living the life they've worked so hard to build.

One of the biggest misconceptions in retirement planning is that investments are the biggest concern. In reality, most people are far more worried about everything surrounding those investments.

Questions like: Will my income last? How much will I owe in taxes? What happens if healthcare costs rise? How do I leave money to my family efficiently? Those are the concerns that keep retirees up at night.

A strong investment portfolio is important, but without a plan, it can actually magnify these challenges. That's why retirement planning should go beyond simply managing assets. It should include a coordinated strategy for your income, taxes, healthcare, and legacy, so every piece is working together to support the retirement you've worked so hard to achieve.

Every smile tells a story.

A story of the trips that finally happened. The family memories that were made. The adventures that no longer had to wait.

Helping our clients build the confidence to live a Life of YES is why we do what we do. There's nothing better than seeing them out there enjoying the retirement they've worked so hard for.

Market volatility can have a major impact on your retirement plan and, ultimately, your probability of success.

In plain English, that means one thing: will your money last as long as you do?

That's why strategic planning matters. At Choules Financial, we believe retirement planning is about much more than managing a portfolio. It's about understanding how your investments support your income and the lifestyle you've worked so hard to build.

After all, most people didn't spend decades saving money just to watch account balances go up and down. They saved to create freedom, confidence, and the ability to enjoy retirement. The goal is making sure your investments are working together to support your income, reduce uncertainty, and help address one of retirees' biggest concerns: outliving their money.
