Countdown to Retirement: Strategies for Saving in Your 50s

Many people in their 50s are redefining retirement, opting for adventure and new pursuits. However, to finance these plans, strategic saving is essential. Here are key tips for boosting your retirement savings in your 50s:

  • Maximize Contributions: Take full advantage of your 401(k) and catch-up contributions.

  • Create a Budget: Reduce discretionary spending and save more for retirement.

  • Consider Downsizing: Selling your home and moving to a smaller space could free up equity for savings.

It’s never too late to start saving for a secure 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.
