Preparing for the Last Five Years Before Retirement [Episode 214]

Attorney-CPA Joe Cordell and co-host Jill Enders visit with Todd Oetken, Financial Advisor and Certified Financial Planner for R.W. Baird about how to prepare for retirement in the final five years of your career. 

The final five years before retirement might seem inconsequential, but they are arguably the most important as many of the decisions made during this stretch are not easily alterable. Mr. Oetken discusses the factors determining how much is needed for retirement, whether to avoid applying for Social Security benefits too early, how to project retirement outcomes, how to learn more about final contributions to retirement plans, and more.
