At 59and1half.com, we believe that all can benefit through the careful collaboration of accountant, attorney, and financial advisor. If you currently have a financial planning team, we at 59and1half.com suggest that you consult them for a strategy that fits your situation.

If you do not have a personal financial advisor, at the risk of being redundant, we believe that you should. The complexities of tax, estate law, insurance jargon, and investment products are too vast for anyone to profess to be an expert in all areas. We offer HAPPY 59½ BIRTHDAY™ retirement resources in which, as a part of our line of 59 1/2 celebretory products and services, are to help you recognize and understand this important provision in the tax law and in your retirement planning. Alternatively, in the window above, 59andahalf.com has teamed up with WiserAdvisor.com to help you find a local financial advisor that meets your criteria.

Below are timely and relevant articles that pertain to retirement planning, and are specifically centered around AGE 59 1/2. Our hope is that you view these as a reference but not the basis for your personal financial plan.
