A New Ball Game for Early Retirees

Early retirement is often a dream, but today’s retirement landscape has shifted. Many retirees are working part-time, whether due to financial necessity or a desire to stay active. With longer life expectancies, managing retirement funds to last through decades of retirement is critical.

Key Considerations:

  • Income Needs: You’ll likely need 60-80% of your pre-retirement income to maintain your lifestyle.

  • Inflation & Withdrawals: Plan for inflation and careful asset management to avoid early depletion.

  • Part-time Work: Consider part-time work as part of your financial plan for early retirement.

Christopher Swan, CFP®, MBA

In 2010, I started my career in financial services.

Making phone calls for independent advisors in Austin, TX, I quickly found myself drawn to the work.

By 2014, I was a licensed financial advisor, learning the ropes at firms like Edward Jones, Merrill Lynch, and Charles Schwab.

Over the years, I helped people at every stage of life:

Those just starting out.

Those at the end of their journey, focused on legacy.

And everyone in between.

Through it all, I prayed.

Prayed for God to guide me toward the most purposeful work I could do.

Eventually, it became clear—

My biggest impact would be helping people transition into retirement.

By creating secure, reliable plans, I could help people:

Feel confident.

Transition comfortably.

And focus on what matters most: faith, family, fitness, fun, and fulfillment.

That’s why I founded Retire With Swan.

We don’t just focus on numbers.

We focus on people.

To make the retirement transition easier, faster, and more transformational,

I crafted the Swan Song System and GRACE Framework.

These systems simplify the complexities of retirement planning.

They help you clarify your goals, protect your income, and build a roadmap to peace of mind.

If you’re planning your transition into retirement, I’d love to help.

And remember:

It’s never too late—or too early—to better plan your exit.
