Local Financial Advisor Shares Step-by-Step Guide to Retirement Readiness

 As retirement planning becomes increasingly important for today’s workforce, local financial advisor Turner Wilson is urging community members to evaluate their readiness and plan ahead using a structured, comprehensive approach.

Referencing insights from Thrivent’s article “Am I Ready to Retire? A Step-by-Step Retirement Readiness Guide,” Wilson highlights key markers that help individuals and families assess whether they’re prepared to retire comfortably.

The guide helps answer questions such as:

• Have I determined how much I’ll need in retirement?

• Do I have a clear plan for income, savings, and potential expenses?

• Have I accounted for healthcare, inflation, and unexpected life changes?

• Am I aligned with my long-term lifestyle goals and financial values?

“Retirement isn’t a one-size-fits-all milestone,” Wilson says. “It’s a deeply personal decision and being prepared means understanding not just your savings, but your goals, risks, and what you want retirement to look like.”

Wilson encourages individuals at any stage, whether early in their career or nearing retirement, to take the time to review their financial picture, plan proactively, and make informed decisions to safeguard their future.

Community members interested in personalized retirement planning support are invited to contact Turner Wilson for a consultation.
