In the world of vinyl, Side A usually features the hits—the chart-toppers, the tracks
everyone remembers. Retirement has its own Side A: the first 10 to 15 years when
retirees are still healthy, independent, and ready to live boldly. But just like a record, you
can’t just drop the needle and hope for the best. This phase requires intentional
planning to enjoy the tempo without burning through your resources before Side B
starts.

Generation X has long been called the “forgotten middle child” of the retirement
conversation. Sandwiched between Boomers and Millennials, they’ve quietly carried the
weight of aging parents, growing children, and a retirement system that shifted beneath
their feet. But here’s the big milestone: in 2025, the youngest Gen Xers are turning 60.
The window for retirement planning is no longer far off—it’s right now. Many in this
generation have done the hard work: they’ve been disciplined savers, they’ve watched
debt, and they’ve built respectable nest eggs. Now it’s time for a new kind of wisdom:
turning accumulation into strategy. Because saving got them here—but planning will
get them through retirement.

A new Northwestern Mutual study finds Americans now believe they need $1.26 million
to retire comfortably—down $200K from last year, yet still out of reach for the majority.
Even so, 97% of people aren’t meeting that benchmark . What’s more, nearly 45% of
current retirees worry they’ll outlive their savings, and 64% of Americans now fear
running out of money even more than death. These aren’t just numbers—they’re the
stress behind today’s retirement narrative.  Reach out to Will at 877-524-2677 or  Absolute Wealth Management.
