Pre-Retirees

Preparing to navigate the path to retirement.
Throughout your working career, you've diligently saved for the future. How do you convert those savings into a reliable income stream that will sustain you for the rest of your life?

Frequently Asked Questions About Preparing For Retirement
The years leading up to retirement are a critical time to turn savings into a clear income plan. These FAQs help pre-retirees think through timing, taxes, investments, Social Security, healthcare, and the transition from working to living on their wealth.
Horizon can help pre-retirees evaluate savings, income needs, investments, taxes, healthcare costs, Social Security, and withdrawal strategies before retirement begins. The goal is to turn years of saving into a clearer plan for income, flexibility, and long-term confidence.
Five to ten years before retirement, you should review your savings, projected income, spending needs, investment risk, debt, healthcare costs, estate documents, and tax strategy. Your financial advisor at Horizon Financial Group can help identify gaps early so you have time to adjust before major retirement decisions are made.
Yes, your Horizon financial advisor can help you estimate retirement readiness by comparing projected income sources with expected spending, taxes, healthcare costs, inflation, and longevity assumptions. We can help you create a retirement income projection and determine whether your current assets are likely to support your desired lifestyle in retirement.
Your investment strategy may need to shift as retirement approaches, but it should not be based only on age. The right strategy depends on your income needs, risk tolerance, time horizon, withdrawal plan, and how much flexibility you have if markets change.
One common mistake is focusing only on the account balance instead of building a retirement income strategy. Horizon helps pre-retirees think through when to withdraw, which accounts to use, how to manage taxes, and how to adjust as life changes.
