Done working? Check. Money saved up? Check. What else goes on your retirement checklist?

Hi, I’m Hunter Brockway, founder of Boca Retirement Strategies, here to guide you to a successful, stress-free retirement while spending more and avoiding being killed in taxes. Let’s walk down a simple checklist of items to get you retirement ready.

Number one: What are your goals? You can’t build a plan without knowing what direction to point the bus. Retire to something, not from something. Tell me about your first fun activity of retirement.

Number two: What will you be doing for health care? If you’re signing up for Medicare, evaluate filling out the Medicare Life Changing Event form to avoid paying excess and IRMA fees.

Number three: Review your beneficiaries and estate plan.

Number four: Update your retirement income guardrails.

Number five: Roll over your workplace retirement accounts. Pro tip: make sure you’ve received your final paycheck and employer plan contributions.

Number six: Establish withdrawal frequencies.

Number seven: Establish tax withholding amounts for portfolio withdrawals and Social Security benefits. Will you be working through part of the calendar year? Is there any tax planning we can do with that? Are there other tax planning opportunities, income brackets to fill, Roth conversions to make?

Review and confirm your Social Security claiming strategy. Review your life insurance. Do you have any remaining debt that was not part of your retirement income plan?

Take action. Check each item off.
