Your 401(k) isn’t your retirement plan — you are. You worked hard and saved for years. That was the easy part. Now comes the real challenge: turning that savings into income that lasts 20, 30, even 40 years. ✅ When should you claim Social Security? ✅ How much can you safely withdraw? ✅ What if the market drops? Claiming Social Security at 62 might seem smart — but it could cost you thousands over time. Especially if you're married, the wrong timing can reduce total income and impact the surviving spouse's benefit. My goal is to help people turn their savings into a tax-efficient, long-term income strategy — one that supports your goals and helps your money last. 📧 Email me at devin.ziegler@thrivent.com 📅 Or schedule your free appointment at: https://connect.thrivent.com/devin-ziegler And yes, that’s my trusty “GOAT” — because when it comes to your retirement plan, you want to be the GREATEST OF ALL TIME at making your money last.
