The five years before retirement and the five years after retirement can be some of the most important years in your financial journey. Financial professionals sometimes refer to this period as the Retirement Red Zone. Before retirement, you’re still building your savings. After retirement, you begin relying on those savings for income. A significant market decline during this transition may have a very different impact than one that occurs much earlier in your career. These 10 years deserve some extra attention.

Two people can enter retirement with nearly identical savings and still experience very different outcomes. Why? Once withdrawals begin, the timing of market gains and losses can make a meaningful difference. Selling investments after a market decline may leave fewer assets available to participate in a future recovery. That’s why retirement planning isn’t only about how much you’ve saved. It’s also about how you plan to use those savings once retirement begins. Same savings. Different timing. Different outcomes.

Even if they saved the same amount.

An emergency fund is not just money sitting in an account. It is breathing room when life changes unexpectedly. Having three to six months of expenses saved can give you time to adjust, make thoughtful decisions, and protect the financial plan you have built.

Some financial moves do more.
