What's inside

Twelve things worth checking before you give notice.

Most retirement mistakes aren't about how much you saved — they're about the order you spend it in, and the gaps nobody flagged in advance.

01

Which account to withdraw from first, and why order matters more than total balance

02

The Medicare enrollment window most people miss by a few weeks

03

Whether your current mix of accounts creates a tax spike at 73

04

How to bridge income if you retire before Medicare eligibility

05

What happens to your plan if one spouse passes first

06

The break-even math on delaying Social Security

From people who used it

What five minutes of checking caught.

"Item 3 alone saved us from a tax bracket jump we didn't see coming. Ran it past our accountant — he confirmed it."— L. Bennett, retiring 2027
"I assumed I had the Medicare window right. I didn't. Glad I checked before it mattered."— T. Osei, retired 2025
"Not a sales pitch — just a clear list. That's rarer than it should be in this space."— J. Farrow, retiring 2026
