    Severance, Pickleball, & A New Retirement Plan

    Today, Dennis walks through a potential retirement story in chapters. As each new detail comes in, we're going to react to it the way a financial advisor would in a real-time meeting. Ron's 64, figured a lot of this out on his own, and this is his first time sitting down with a professional. Let's see what we find and what we might do differently from here. Ron always figured he'd know when he was ready to retire. Turns out, sometimes retirement decides for you. The good news is his plan still has options (pickleball included). If your story feels like Ron's, that's exactly the conversation worth having. Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode: 🎾 New Interests: Slowing down can reveal hobbies and lifestyle options that were not part of the original plan 🏥 Healthcare Gap: COBRA, HSAs, and Medicare timing can significantly affect the transition 💵 Social Security: Claiming decisions may need to change when income disappears unexpectedly ⏳ Early Planning: Preparing years in advance can create more flexibility when circumstances change Our website:  https://www.401k.faith Phone: (513) 898-1897 Contact our team: https://www.faith401kmgmt.com/contact_us/ Book an Introductory Meeting: https://www.faith401kmgmt.com/contact_us/ Check out our no-cost financial flipbooks here: https://www.faith401kmgmt.com/learning_center/flipbooks/ Join one of our upcoming events: https://www.faith401kmgmt.com/events.htm Check out our online calculators: https://www.faith401kmgmt.com/learning_center/calculators/ Check us out on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpuK6WuipFhXBxujjM6nl7g Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063561056644 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dennis-horr-2ba3714/ X: https://x.com/dennishorr

    What Happens If Retirement Comes Early?

    Many people plan to retire around 65, but new research shows a large percentage are leaving the workforce several years earlier and often not by choice. Health problems, job loss, and rising healthcare expenses can suddenly force a retirement timeline to change. In this episode, Dennis explains why those extra few years matter so much and how better planning can make an unexpected early retirement more manageable. Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode: 💸 Three Years Matter: Lost contributions and early withdrawals can create a large financial gap 🏥 Healthcare Is Expensive: Covering the years before Medicare can add significant monthly costs 📊 Budgeting Becomes Critical: Knowing exactly what comes in and goes out matters more when income changes 🔄 Plan to Pivot: Starting the planning process several years early gives you more options Millions Are Retiring Earlier Than Planned.
