⏰ Turning 73 this year? The IRS wants its cut.

Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) force you to start withdrawing from your tax-deferred accounts — whether you need the money or not.

Miss the deadline, and the penalty used to be brutal: 50% of the amount you should've withdrawn. It's lower now, but still painful.

The smart move? Plan your RMD strategy years before your first one is due — not the week before.

👉 Not sure when your RMDs kick in or how to plan for them? Let's talk.

🏥 The Retirement Expense Most People Underestimate

You've planned for housing. You've planned for travel. Have you planned for healthcare?

Fidelity estimates the average retired couple will spend over $300,000 on healthcare throughout retirement, and that's before factoring in long-term care.

Here's what often gets missed:

🔹 Medicare doesn't start until 65 — if you retire earlier, you need a bridge plan.

🔹 Medicare doesn't cover everything — dental, vision, and hearing are typically out of pocket.

🔹 Higher income can mean higher premiums (IRMAA surcharges catch a lot of retirees off guard).

🔹 Long-term care isn't covered by Medicare at all.

The fix isn't panic. It's building healthcare costs into your retirement income plan the same way you'd plan for housing or travel, as a real line item, not an afterthought.

Financial infidelity: hiding purchases, secret accounts, lying about debt.

It's more common than people think, and it erodes trust faster than almost anything else in a relationship.

The fix isn't a single hard conversation.

It's a habit: regular, low-drama check-ins about money before secrecy has a chance to take root.

Transparency isn't about control. It's about being on the same team.

🔍 Quick check: when's the last time you looked at your beneficiary designations?

Not your will. The actual forms on your 401(k), IRA, and life insurance.

These override your will.

An outdated one can send your assets to an ex-spouse, a person who's passed away, or nobody at all.

Five minutes now. Real protection later.

💡 The most underrated account in retirement planning?

Your HSA.

Triple tax advantage: deductible going in, grows tax-free, comes out tax-free for medical expenses.

Unlike an FSA, it doesn't disappear at year-end.

Unlike most retirement accounts, qualified withdrawals are never taxed.

If you have access to one, it might deserve more than the leftover priority it usually gets.

Last week, our team was proud to attend and support the 2026 Patriot Party for Folds of Honor — an incredible night that raised over $1.2 million for scholarships supporting the spouses and children of fallen and disabled service members.

At MJT & Associates, we believe true wealth isn't just measured in portfolios — it's measured in the community we build together. Grateful to stand alongside so many neighbors and friends who showed up for a cause that honors sacrifice with opportunity.

Proud to give back. Proud of our community. 🇺🇸

If you're self-employed, no one's setting up a 401(k) match for you. That part's on you.

The good news: you actually have more options than a typical employee.

✅ Solo 401(k) — high contribution limits, can contribute as both "employer" and "employee"
✅ SEP IRA — simple to set up, good for fluctuating income years
✅ Defined Benefit Plan — for high earners wanting to save aggressively and reduce taxable income now

The bad news: nobody's going to remind you to fund it. Without a system, "I'll catch up later" quietly becomes never.

Pick the structure. Automate it. Treat it like payroll, because in a way, it is.

💑 You don't have to have the same money habits to build a strong financial life together.

One of you might be a saver. The other, a spender.

One tracks every dollar. The other avoids looking at the account altogether.

That's normal.

The problem isn't different habits, it's never talking about them.

The strongest couples we work with don't agree on everything.

They just have a shared plan that makes room for both of their instincts.

Yes, you still need an emergency fund in retirement.

Without a paycheck, an unexpected roof repair or medical bill means pulling from investments, possibly at a bad time in the market.

Cash reserves aren't just a working-years rule.

They're a retirement rule too.
