My background

Can I afford to retire when I want to? What should I do if my income, expenses, or health coverage change after I stop working? I’m John Buckingham. For more than 40 years, I’ve helped people make sense of financial decisions. I’ll guide you through the complicated steps before and after retirement, from figuring out what will replace your paycheck to understanding how Social Security, Medicare, and insurance fit into your plans. We’ll start with your biggest question and work through what to do next.
