Three Basic Retirement Questions to Ask Yourself

Retirement planning can seem overwhelming with multiple savings options like 401(k)s, IRAs, and more. However, there are only three essential decisions you need to make:

  1. How Much to Contribute: Contributing as much as possible is the most important decision for successful retirement planning.

  2. How to Allocate: Determine the right mix of stocks, bonds, and other assets based on your risk tolerance and timeline.

  3. Which Funds to Choose: Prioritize low-cost funds to maximize growth over time.

Having a plan ensures you stay on track toward your retirement goals.

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.
