Wherever you are in your retirement planning journey, Concerto Financial is here to support you. Retirement planning is not a one-size-fits-all process—it’s a long-term effort that takes into account your evolving financial picture, lifestyle goals, and changing economic conditions. Our financial planners work with individuals and families in Colorado Springs and the surrounding area to explore personalized strategies designed to support your retirement vision.

A Strategic Approach to Retirement Planning

Preparing for retirement involves more than contributing to a 401(k) or IRA. It requires careful consideration of multiple factors that can affect your long-term financial outlook. At Concerto Financial, our team works with you to review key areas such as retirement savings, investment strategies, employer-sponsored plans, pensions, healthcare costs, and how Social Security benefits may fit into your overall plan.

We understand that each client’s situation is different. Whether you’re just starting to save or preparing to transition out of the workforce, our financial planners will help you evaluate your current resources and explore options that align with your future goals.

Coordinated Support for Your Retirement Plan

At Concerto Financial, we strive to offer guidance that complements the efforts of your other qualified professionals, such as tax advisors and estate attorneys. Our goal is to help you build a plan that considers both income needs and potential risks. We look at how to structure distributions, examine account types, and assist in reviewing withdrawal strategies that are appropriate for your unique circumstances.

While we do not provide tax or legal advice, we support a coordinated approach so that your retirement strategy remains well-organized and adaptable over time.

Planning for Life After Work

Retirement doesn’t mean your financial planning ends—it means your strategy evolves. We help clients think through the timing of retirement, potential lifestyle changes, healthcare expenses, and income sustainability. Whether you plan to travel, volunteer, pursue a new career path, or spend more time with family, having a thoughtful strategy in place can help provide clarity as you move forward.

Start Planning with Confidence

Whether retirement is just around the corner or still a few years away, we invite you to take the next step with Concerto Financial. Our experienced financial planners are here to support you with planning strategies tailored to your goals, needs, and life stage.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. When should I start planning for retirement?

It’s never too early—or too late—to begin thinking about retirement. Starting early allows more time for your savings and investments to grow, but even if you’re close to retirement, there are still steps you can take to prepare and adjust your strategy.

2. How much should I be saving for retirement?

The amount you should save depends on your anticipated expenses, lifestyle goals, and income sources. A financial planner can help evaluate your current savings rate and explore whether adjustments may help support your retirement vision.

3. What role does Social Security play in my retirement plan?

Social Security is one part of a larger retirement income picture. We can help you review when it may make sense to begin collecting benefits and how they may work alongside other income sources like pensions, personal savings, and investment accounts.

4. What happens if I want to retire earlier than planned?

Early retirement may be possible with careful planning, but it’s important to consider factors like healthcare coverage, income needs, and the long-term impact on your savings. A financial planner can help assess whether early retirement is feasible and what adjustments might be needed.

5. Can I continue investing during retirement?

Yes. Many retirees maintain investment strategies tailored to their needs and risk tolerance. These investments may play a role in helping your savings last and in addressing inflation or unexpected expenses.
