Retiring before claiming Social Security means your portfolio needs a key adjustment. In this video, we walk through a step-by-step strategy using Becky’s case study—retiring at 62 with $1M and claiming Social Security at 67. That five-year gap is where many retirees slip up. Learn how to structure your portfolio to maintain stability, avoid selling stocks at a loss, and make your money last.

About us
We help you get the most out of life with your money. If you’re thinking about retirement, you may quickly get overwhelmed with the amount of planning required to do things right. To make matters worse, you’ll soon find there are financial salespeople out there who give cookie-cutter answers about what you should do with your money to make a quick buck. With this prescriptive thinking, you’ll work hard and save—only to find that you’re following advice that isn’t helping you live the life you want. There’s not enough out-of-the-box thinking. This is why we started Root Financial. Our process starts at your roots and is guided by your why so we can craft a plan that’s truly yours. By getting a thorough understanding of who you are, we can plan a course designed especially for your wants and needs. Empathetic advice for real life; it’s what you deserve.

It’s moments like these that we live for at Root!📸 Huge shoutout to Quince for providing us with the best retreat gear. These weren’t just shirts—they brought the team together in all the unspoken ways. And let’s be real, the Root Olympics wouldn’t have been the same without them! 🏅 Thank you to the Quince team, especially Patrick Kunkel and Matthew Gonzales, for taking a chance and making our vision come alive with these shirts. At Root, we’re all about service and showing up for each other, and this retreat was proof of that! Here’s to good times, great teams, and even better shirts. 👏 #RootRetreat #RootFinancialPartners #Root

"Grow more, grow faster!" We hear it all the time—and trust us, we want to help as many people as possible. But growth at the cost of service? That’s not an option. Over the past year, we've expanded from a team of 13 to 40, and while we’re scaling quickly, we’re doing it sustainably. We prioritize bringing on the right people, investing in their development, and ensuring that our clients continue to receive the same high-quality experience. Growth isn’t just about speed—it’s about doing it right. 📈 Learn more about the Starfish Method here: https://lnkd.in/gqgKidT6 #RootFinancialPartners #Root #RootFinancial #Growth

Some of our favorite moments from the Root Retreat! The team split up for an unforgettable day—hiking through the beauty of Joshua Tree, taking swings on the golf course, and going all in for a heated pickleball tournament. A little friendly competition, a lot of good vibes, and memories we won’t forget. 🏔️🏌️♀️🏅 Casino Night kept the energy high, bringing plenty of laughter (and maybe some lucky streaks). 🎲♠️ We started the days in flow, moving, breathing, and grounding ourselves with a morning yoga session. 🧘♂️ The perfect way to set the tone for a day of connection, growth, and renewed energy. All in all, the Root Retreat was a success—one for the books! Until next time. 🌱 #RootFinancialPartners #WorkRetreat

Thinking about a Roth conversion? Don’t miss this costly mistake! Filling up lower tax brackets seems smart—until IRMAA surcharges push your Medicare premiums higher, costing you thousands. Bob and Sally’s plan saved them $485K in tax-adjusted assets, but a $47K Medicare surprise wiped out a chunk of their savings. With a smarter approach—factoring in IRMAA, Social Security taxes, capital gains, and heirs’ tax brackets—they boosted their savings to nearly $760K! Before you convert, make sure you’re factoring in these five key tax considerations. Watch now: https://hubs.la/Q037sWQq0
