  • Four retirement moves to consider before year-end 2026
    January 18, 2026, 3:11 PM EST. Even if retirement is years away, acting now can yield a more comfortable future. The article urges a solid retirement plan-estimate required income, prepare multiple income streams, and weigh long retirement horizons if considering early retirement. It warns healthcare costs will rise and Medicare kicks in at 65, so plan coverage for the interim. It champions saving aggressively now, noting that the earliest dollars have time to compound, illustrated by an 8% growth scenario showing meaningful gains for $6,000 and $12,000 annual contributions over 5 to 40 years. Finally, it says investing effectively means balancing risk and return: avoid penny stocks, day trading, or margin, but don't rely on low-growth accounts that miss inflation.
