Retire Confidently on Your Terms

Planning for retirement is one of the most important financial decisions you’ll ever make, and the years just before leaving work are critical. 

Whether you’ve worked in the nuclear energy industry, in local healthcare, or built a business in the Tri-Cities, having a clear strategy helps ensure you can retire with confidence. At Monson Wealth Management, we focus on guiding people who are within 5 to 10 years of retirement, helping them make the necessary adjustments so they feel ready when the time comes.

Creating reliable income is the core of retirement. We design strategies to turn your savings into steady paychecks, combining Social Security, pensions, and investments.

Social Security Timing

Choosing when to claim Social Security is one of the most important retirement decisions. We walk you through options, spousal benefits, and tax impacts so you don’t leave money on the table.

Your investments should match your retirement horizon and risk tolerance. We design portfolios that balance growth and income to support your lifestyle.

Healthcare & Medicare

Medical costs are a major concern in retirement. We help you plan for Medicare enrollment, supplemental coverage, and long-term care considerations.

Tax-Efficient Withdrawals

The way you take money out of retirement accounts affects how long your money lasts. We coordinate distributions to minimize taxes and maximize income.

Lifestyle Goals

Retirement is about more than numbers. Whether your dream is travel, hobbies, or leaving a legacy, we help align your financial plan with your personal goals.
