This phase isn't just about counting down the years—it's about fine-tuning the details to help ensure you're ready for what's next.
For physicians and medical professionals, there are often unique financial considerations. Here's what we've been walking through in recent client conversations:
Define what a fulfilling post-career lifestyle looks like (full stop or part-time practice?)
Maximize contributions to retirement accounts—think 403(b), 457(b), and catch-up limits
Pressure-test your budget using future income projections (including pensions or deferred comp)
Understand your Medicare timeline and explore health care bridge coverage
Create a tax-efficient withdrawal strategy that includes investment accounts and practice equity
Review and update estate planning documents, especially if you own a practice or have complex family needs
Every journey is different—but thoughtful planning now can make all the difference later.
