Why the Last Stretch Before Retirement Is So Risky

Five years before retirement can feel like the finish line—and the pressure is real. In this episode of Ivanoff Retirement Insights, Paul and Travis Ivanoff break down why timing matters when it comes to retirement guidance, and what shifts as you move from saving to living off your money. They unpack the risks of waiting too long, explain the “red zone” before retirement, and share how taxes, income planning, long-term care, and market volatility all intersect in the final stretch. Whether you’re 10 years out or closer than expected, this conversation highlights what changes as retirement comes into focus. Listen to Paul and Travis on KEIB-AM LA Saturdays at 9am. With years of experience in the financial services industry, host Travis Ivanoff of Ivanoff Wealth Management brings you the market analysis you need in the plain English you want.
