Retirement Countdown: What to Do One Year Out—and What to Do 5 to 10 Years Before

Whether retirement is just around the corner or still several years away, the decisions you make today can have a lasting impact on your financial future.

In this episode of Understanding Money with the Noles Group, Parker Noles, Tyler Noles, Evan Griffith, Chandler Noles, and host Matt McClure discuss the critical steps to take both one year before retirement and during the five-to-ten-year "retirement red zone." They also examine why many Americans are cutting back on retirement savings, offer practical strategies for staying on track, and answer common financial questions during another edition of Right or Wrong.

In this episode:

• Five important steps to take during your final year before retirement
• How to prepare if you're 5–10 years away from retiring
• Building a reliable retirement income strategy
• Social Security, tax planning, Medicare, and withdrawal considerations
• Why maintaining retirement savings during difficult economic times still matters
• How employer matching can dramatically improve long-term retirement outcomes
• The benefits of personalized retirement planning over one-size-fits-all investment strategies
• A fun edition of "Right or Wrong" covering ETFs, annuities, taxes, and retirement income

No matter where you are on your retirement journey, this episode provides actionable insights to help you retire with greater confidence and financial peace of mind.
