Miss a window in retirement planning, and you may not get a second chance. In this episode of The Financial Navigator, financial planner Raphael Vallier explores the critical “windows of opportunity” that can shape retirement outcomes. From catch‑up contributions and Medicare enrollment to Required Minimum Distributions and proactive tax planning, he discusses why timing matters just as much as strategy. Using relatable analogies and real‑world examples, Raphael explains why retirement planning should begin well before retirement—and how waiting too long can limit available options. This conversation highlights the importance of preparation, foresight, and acting before key deadlines quietly close.
