The clock is ticking — and the end of the year is one of the most critical times for retirees and pre-retirees to make smart financial moves. In this episode of Retirement Your Way with AmeriLife of Central Florida, Bradley Hardin joins Matt McClure to break down the essential year-end planning checklist that could save you money, reduce your taxes, and start 2026 on the right financial foot.
From Roth conversions and required minimum distributions (RMDs) to charitable giving strategies that warm your heart and lower your tax bill, Bradley explains how all these pieces fit together — and why syncing your plan matters more than ever.
The team also discusses avoiding Medicare premium surprises, how market dips can create Roth conversion opportunities, and why December deadlines are non-negotiable if you want to avoid costly penalties.
Whether you’re nearing retirement or already there, this episode will help you make confident, coordinated financial moves before the ball drops on 2025.
