The Retirement Solution

Should You Work One More Year?

Some retirement opportunities don’t come back once the window closes. In this episode, Jon Hicks breaks down the age‑based moments that quietly shape retirement outcomes, starting as early as 50 and extending into your seventies. The discussion covers catch‑up contributions, penalty‑free access rules, control over retirement accounts, Medicare timing, and required distributions. Using real‑world examples, the conversation highlights how missed timing—not market performance—often creates avoidable complications. A practical look at why retirement planning is as much about when decisions are made as what decisions are made.

The Retirement Windows You Can’t Reopen

Most people aren’t worried about dying—they’re worried about running out of money. From this past weekend’s radio show, Jon Hicks challenges the fear‑driven retirement messaging that keeps savers uneasy, even with significant assets. The discussion breaks down why a 401(k) statement isn’t a plan, how monthly income matters more than lump sums, and why confidence comes from strategy, not market headlines. The episode also explores key age‑based windows and tax decisions that shape retirement outcomes long before the final paycheck.

Why Running Out of Money Scares People More Than Death

Markets don’t move in a vacuum—and sometimes a single headline can change everything. In this episode of The Retirement Solution, financial advisor Jon Hicks explores political risk and how government actions, public statements, and unexpected headlines can ripple through the markets. The conversation looks at how political uncertainty intersects with investing, why volatility can increase when policy shifts dominate the news cycle, and how stress‑testing assumptions can reveal hidden vulnerabilities in a portfolio. It’s a timely discussion about understanding external forces that investors can’t control—and how awareness of those forces fits into retirement planning decisions.
