The Semmax Way

You've Built Wealth, What's Next?


Listen Later

You worked for decades to build your wealth. But what happens when it's time to stop saving and start using it? Matt Landon, CFP®, and CEO of Semmax Financial Group, and Larry VanLandingham, CFP®, walk through the shift from accumulation to distribution, covering income planning, tax strategy, and the mindset changes most people are not fully prepared for.

If you are within five years of retirement or already there, this conversation will help you understand where to start, what to watch for, and how to build a plan that gives you real confidence no matter what the markets are doing.

Key Takeaways:

  • Getting to retirement and getting through it are two very different challenges.

  • The shift from saving to spending is harder than most people expect, and it requires a real plan.

  • Taxes are likely your single largest expense in retirement, and the order you draw from accounts matters.

  • Stress-testing your plan against real historical events gives more durable confidence than any headline can shake.

  • You cannot control market noise or political headlines, but you can control whether you have a plan.

  • If you are handing your advisor statements instead of a strategy, you do not have a plan yet.
