NEW YORK - TelAve -- Preparing for retirement involves more than building a nest egg. Knowing how to turn savings into dependable income, manage taxes and protect against unexpected expenses can make a significant difference in retirement. Rick Durkee, founder and CEO of Coastal Financial Planning Group, will address these challenges in an upcoming episode of Moving America Forward, airing nationally on CNBC November 8th as sponsored programming.

In his conversation with host Vince Butta, Durkee examines the critical transition from accumulating wealth to distributing it during retirement. He highlights the "retirement red zone"—the five years before retirement and the first five years afterward—as a pivotal period when financial decisions can shape an individual's long-term financial outlook.

Durkee advocates for a written retirement income plan that brings together anticipated income sources and future expenses. By identifying potential shortfalls and coordinating assets strategically, retirees can better understand how to create income streams designed to support their desired lifestyle.

The interview also explores retirement's most significant financial risks, including market fluctuations, rising healthcare costs, longevity and the possibility of outliving savings. Durkee discusses how withdrawal strategies, Social Security timing and tax planning can work together to help retirees make the most of the resources they have accumulated.

Tax efficiency is another central theme. Durkee explains the value of coordinating taxable, tax-deferred and tax-free income sources throughout retirement, while examining how assets such as cash-value life insurance may contribute to an overall income strategy.
