  • When should I start retirement planning?

    Ideally, retirement planning starts in your 30s or 40s—but it’s never too late to begin. Whether you’re approaching retirement or already retired, we can help you make informed decisions about income, savings, and timing.

  • How much money do I need to retire comfortably in Pennsylvania?

    That depends on your lifestyle, healthcare needs, and where you live. We work with clients across Easton, Bethlehem, and Allentown to estimate future expenses and build a retirement income plan that fits their personal goals and cost of living.

  • Can you help me with Social Security decisions?

    Yes. Deciding when to take Social Security can significantly impact your lifetime benefits. We help you analyze your options and coordinate your filing strategy with your overall retirement plan.

  • What if I want to retire early?

    Early retirement is possible with the right planning. We’ll help you consider key factors like healthcare coverage, penalty-free withdrawals, and whether your savings can support your goals over a longer retirement horizon.
