This chart says it all: trying to time the market — waiting for the dip to pass before getting back in — tends to leave you behind.

Having a plan means staying invested through the ups and downs, so you're already positioned when the recovery happens. It's not about predicting the market. It's about having a strategy that doesn't depend on predicting it.

Market volatility brings out some very human and costly habits. A few we see often with pre-retirees and retirees:
Selling investments out of fear right when prices are down, abandoning a carefully built withdrawal strategy the moment things get bumpy, and obsessively checking account balances instead of stepping back to look at the bigger picture.

None of these are signs of doing something wrong as a person — they're just signs it might be time to revisit whether your plan truly matches your comfort level with risk.

If you've ever refreshed your portfolio app during a market dip and felt your chest tighten a little, you're not alone — and you're not overreacting. Once you're relying on your savings for income instead of just watching them grow, volatility feels personal in a way it never did during your working years.

The good news: a retirement income plan built with market swings in mind can take a lot of that emotional weight off your shoulders, even when the headlines are scary.

Here's a myth we hear constantly from folks approaching retirement: "my investment returns are all taxed the same way." Not even close.

Interest, dividends, and capital gains each have their own tax treatment, and the accounts they sit in matter just as much as the investments themselves. Understanding these differences now — before you're relying on this money for everyday expenses — can make a real difference in how much of your nest egg you actually get to keep.

It's one of those topics that seems simple until you dig in.

If you're mapping out how to turn your savings into retirement income, here are a few questions worth bringing to your next advisor conversation:
◆ Which accounts should I draw from first, and in what order?
◆ How will the mix of investment income and capital gains affect my tax bracket each year?
◆ Is my current portfolio positioned in a tax-efficient way for the income phase of retirement, not just the growth phase?

These aren't just technical questions — the answers can shape how comfortably your money lasts.

Annuities tend to get a bad reputation, often from an experience with the wrong product for someone's situation. Used thoughtfully, an annuity is simply one more tool that can help turn savings into a stream of guaranteed income — which can matter a lot heading into retirement. The key question isn't "are annuities good or bad" it's whether one fits your specific plan.

A quick look at how a donor-advised fund works: you contribute cash or assets, it may qualify for a deduction in the year you give, and then you recommend grants to your favorite charities over time — this year, next year, or beyond.

It's a way to plan your giving with the same care you plan the rest of your finances — especially helpful in a year when a larger deduction would be welcome.

As always, check the details with your tax advisor.

Many of us give to our church, our alma mater, or a cause close to our heart — often without a second thought about the "how." But a little structure can stretch that generosity further, letting the same gift do more for the causes you love (and sometimes for your tax picture, too).

Giving from the heart and giving with a plan can absolutely go hand in hand.

Giving to causes you care about can be part of a thoughtful retirement plan — and there are tax-smart ways to do it. Two worth knowing:

A donor-advised fund lets you contribute now, potentially take a deduction, and recommend grants to charities over time.
A qualified charitable distribution lets those who are eligible give directly from an IRA — which can also count toward required distributions.

Generosity and good planning aren't opposites. Done well, they work together.

A tax professional can help you give in the way that makes the most sense for you.
