For decades, saving was the goal. Then retirement arrives, and the rules change.

The money you spent years building is now the money you’re supposed to use.

But for many retirees, spending savings feels like they’re doing something wrong, even if they have planned wisely.

The challenge isn’t always having enough money. It’s getting comfortable using the money you worked so hard to build.

A retirement plan isn’t just about finding the answer to “Will my money last?” You need a strategy for using your savings to support the retirement you want to live out.

Social Security is taxed. Surprise!

Depending on your income, up to 85% of your Social Security benefits may be subject to federal income tax.

So, how does the IRS decide?

It looks at what’s often called your combined income, which generally includes:
• Your adjusted gross income
• Tax-exempt interest
• Half of your Social Security benefits

For single filers, some benefits may become taxable once that amount exceeds $25,000, with up to 85% potentially taxable above $34,000.

For married couples filing jointly, the thresholds are $32,000 and $44,000.

And here’s why this matters: Social Security doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Your withdrawals from retirement accounts, investment income, pensions, and other sources of income can affect how much of your benefit is taxable.

That’s why retirement income planning can be about much more than simply deciding when to claim Social Security.

What’s draining your retirement account?

New pickleball outfits? Coffee out every day? Expensive family vacations?

There’s nothing wrong with spending your hard-earned money on the things you enjoy, but did you plan for it?

A good retirement plan should account for more than the basics. It should also make room for the lifestyle you actually want to live.

A gallon of milk in Miami costs around $4.90 today.

On its own, a few extra cents or even a few extra dollars at the grocery store may not seem like much to worry about.

But inflation rarely affects just one thing.

It’s the milk, groceries, and gas. The homeowners insurance and utilities. The cost of going out to dinner.

And when you’re retired and living on a fixed income, those increases can add up year after year.

That’s why proper retirement planning goes beyond asking, “Do I have enough today?”

It considers what your lifestyle could cost 10, 20, or even 30 years from now and whether your retirement income strategy is built with inflation in mind.

If rising costs have you wondering whether your retirement plan is still on track, let’s take a look together. Schedule a complimentary conversation: app.greminders.com/c/david5/30minutecall

Heard the term “gray marriage”? It refers to getting married later in life, often after age 60.

As dating apps make it easier to meet someone new, later-in-life marriages are becoming more common. But with retirement approaching, combining finances can bring some important decisions.

If you have questions about how marriage could affect your retirement plan, let’s talk.

Do the markets keep you up at night, or do you sleep like a baby?

That may have more to do with your risk tolerance than your sleep pattern.

Market swings can feel very different from one investor to the next. Some people are comfortable riding out volatility, while others feel stressed watching their portfolio move up and down.

The “right” portfolio isn’t just about potential returns; it’s also about having a strategy you can stick with when markets get unstable.

If market volatility has you questioning your current investments, it may be time for a portfolio review.
