Three things Sherri Banta Group wishes more people knew before they retired:
1. Social Security timing matters more than most people realize - the difference between claiming at 62 vs. 70 can mean thousands of dollars annually.
2. Healthcare costs in retirement are often the biggest surprise. It's not just Medicare premiums - it's the gaps.
3. Having a withdrawal strategy is just as important as having savings. How you take the money out matters.
None of this has to be overwhelming. That's what planning is for.
