Frequently asked questions
How is a retirement income strategy different from regular investing?
What does a guaranteed monthly paycheck floor actually mean?
When is the ideal time to start planning for retirement income?
The optimal window is typically 3 to 5 years before your planned retirement date (usually ages 55 to 70). Starting during this transition window prevents sequence-of-returns risk and allows us to coordinate social security claiming strategies and tax brackets well before work paychecks stop.
