The Retirement Coordination Framework™: A Clear Way to Make Confident Retirement Decisions

Retirement isn’t one decision. It’s a series of connected ones.Most retirement guidance treats spending, income, and taxes as separate problems. But in real life, each choice affects the others—sometimes in ways you don’t see until it’s too late to easily change course.I wrote this book after helping people transition into retirement for more than a decade, including most of that time as a CFP® professional. I’m also a career-changer—after years in multiple Fortune 500 companies, I moved into fiduciary financial planning because I saw how often families needed advice that was truly in their best interest.Many people assume a financial advisor is mainly for investments.
