Retirement Gets More Complicated as It Gets Closer

When retirement is ten or twenty years away, saving consistently may feel like enough. Once retirement is within sight, the questions become more specific—and the cost of getting them wrong becomes greater.

  • How much can I reasonably spend without running out of money?
  • When should my spouse and I claim Social Security?
  • How should I take money from my IRA, 401(k) or pension?
  • Can I manage the taxes I will pay throughout retirement?
  • How much investment risk should I continue taking?
  • What should I expect from Medicare and other healthcare expenses?

These decisions affect one another. A Social Security decision can change your tax situation. A Roth conversion may affect Medicare premiums. An investment decision can influence how much income your portfolio can reasonably provide. That is why we believe retirement planning should be coordinated—not handled one decision at a time.

Helping Salem Families Make Smarter Retirement Decisions

Martin Wealth Solutions works primarily with people age 50 and older who have accumulated meaningful retirement savings and want a more coordinated strategy.

Create Reliable Retirement Income
We help determine how much income your savings can reasonably provide, where that income should come from and how your withdrawal strategy may need to change over time.
Make More Tax-Aware Decisions
We evaluate how withdrawals, Roth conversions, Social Security, pensions and required minimum distributions may interact over the course of retirement.
Invest With a Clear Purpose
Your investment strategy should support your retirement income needs, time horizon and comfort with risk—not simply chase performance.
Prepare for Healthcare Costs
We incorporate Medicare decisions, healthcare expenses and potential long-term care needs into the broader retirement conversation.
