A Simple, Transparent Plan

Retirement planning can feel daunting, but with the right strategies in place, it doesn’t have to be. At Hux Capital Management, our goal is to simplify the process and create personalized retirement plans that instill confidence and peace of mind. If you’re aiming to retire in 2025, now is the time to take action with these essential financial strategies.

1. Define Your Retirement Vision

Before diving into the numbers, take a moment to visualize your ideal retirement. Do you see yourself

vision for retirement

traveling, pursuing hobbies, or simply enjoying a quiet life with family? Defining this vision is crucial to estimating your retirement budget.

2. Estimate Your Retirement Budget

A solid budget forms the backbone of retirement planning. While conventional wisdom suggests needing about 75–80% of your pre-retirement income, every individual is unique. Your lifestyle, health needs, and financial goals should guide this figure. Our fiduciary team can help craft a realistic estimate that reflects your personal needs.

3. Tackle Debt Strategically

Eliminating unnecessary debt before retirement is one of the most effective ways to ensure financial freedom. Prioritize high-interest debts like credit cards and consider downsizing if a mortgage no longer fits your retirement lifestyle.

4. Reassess Your Investment Portfolio

As you approach retirement, it’s time to revisit your portfolio. A shift from aggressive growth investments to a more balanced or conservative strategy might make sense. Our proactive money management approach ensures your portfolio aligns with your risk tolerance and income needs.

5. Plan for Long-Term Care

Healthcare costs can be one of the biggest expenses in retirement. Planning ahead with long-term care

insurance or other strategies can help safeguard your savings. We specialize in life insurance and long-term care services to address these important considerations.

6. Create an Emergency Fund

Retirement doesn’t shield you from unexpected expenses. Aim to set aside six to twelve months of living expenses in an easily accessible account. This safety net protects against unforeseen disruptions without derailing your retirement plan.

7. Optimize Retirement Income Strategies

How you draw from your savings is just as important as how much you’ve saved. Consider options like systematic withdrawal plans or annuities to provide steady income. Our retirement income solutions are designed to create lasting security.

8. Leverage Catch-Up Contributions

If you’re over 50, you’re eligible to contribute extra to retirement accounts like 401(k)s and IRAs. Take advantage of these catch-up contributions to maximize your savings in the final stretch before retirement.
