Mark Zagurski, a proud Gen Xer, dives into the four critical ages for Generation X (born 1965–1980) in retirement planning: 50, 59½, 62, and 73. As Gen Xers juggle peak earning years with expenses like mortgages and kids’ education, Mark highlights the importance of these milestones. At 50, catch-up contributions allow for boosted retirement savings. At 59½, penalty-free access to retirement funds begins. Age 62 marks eligibility for Social Security, though early claiming reduces benefits. Finally, at 73, required minimum distributions (RMDs) kick in for tax-deferred accounts. Mark emphasizes personalized planning to navigate these milestones effectively.
You’ll learn:
How catch-up contributions at age 50 can accelerate retirement savings.
Why age 59½ offers greater flexibility for accessing retirement funds.
The trade-offs of claiming Social Security at age 62 versus waiting.
How RMDs at age 73 impact tax-deferred accounts and planning.
Why Gen Xers need a tailored retirement strategy to balance competing financial demands.
“When it comes to retirement, it doesn’t matter where you started, all that matters is where you finish.” - Mark Zagurski
