FrequentlyAsked Questions

Q: Do I really need a financial advisor before retirement?

A: Yes. A pre-retirement advisor helps you avoid mistakes that could shrink your nest egg—like claiming Social Security too early, missing tax-saving opportunities, or drawing from the wrong accounts.

Q: How much does retirement planning cost with a financial advisor?

A: Most advisors charge between 0.25% and 1% of assets managed. Others offer flat fees or hourly rates, especially for one-time retirement plans.

Q: What’s the right income level to hire a financial advisor before retirement?

A: If you're earning $100K+ or managing $250K+ in investments, it’s smart to get professional advice to protect and grow your wealth as retirement approaches.

Q: What are red flags when choosing a retirement advisor?

A: Avoid anyone who isn’t a fiduciary, won’t explain their fees, or pressures you to buy investment products. Trust and transparency matter more than anything.

Q: When should I start working with a financial advisor for retirement?

A: Ideally, 5–10 years before you plan to retire. That’s when smart tax planning, withdrawal strategies, and healthcare decisions can have the biggest long-term impact.

Should You Work with a Financial Advisor Before Retirement?

Retirement isn’t a finish line—it’s a full-blown transition. And the 5–10 years before it are the most important time to get your financial life in order.
A financial advisor who specializes in pre-retirees can help you:

Build a sustainable income plan so your savings last

Optimize when and how you claim Social Security

Rebalance your investment portfolio as you shift to drawdown mode

Reduce taxes with smart strategies like Roth conversions and tax-efficient withdrawals

Plan for healthcare costs, including Medicare and long-term care

Create or update your estate and legacy plan

Many advisors on Sam’s List are fiduciaries who regularly help clients in their 50s and early 60s retire confidently. They’ll guide you through the tough questions and build a plan that fits your lifestyle, family, and financial goals—without selling you anything you don’t need.
