Top advisors focused on early retirement planning in Maryland

The right financial advisor for you depends on how you weigh location, expertise, experience, the clients they typically serve, and how they work with you.

If you're thinking about retiring well before the traditional age, you need to plan carefully for a longer financial runway and unexpected expenses. Without a clear strategy, you might run out of money or face tax surprises that could derail your plans.

  • Withdrawal sequencing. Ask how they plan your income streams to make your savings last, balancing taxable and tax-advantaged accounts.
  • Healthcare cost planning. Early retirees often face a gap before Medicare eligibility; confirm how they estimate and cover these expenses.
  • Sustainable spending. Check if they model your spending realistically over decades, including inflation and lifestyle changes.
  • Tax impact awareness. Early retirement can trigger complex tax scenarios; see how they navigate these to minimize your tax burden.

Here are top matches to get you started. Review each profile to compare experience, credentials, and approach.

Steve S

CFP®

Eldersburg, MD

ABEL Financial Management Co.

Hi, I'm Steve. I've loved financial planning ever since I was a kid watching the ticker tape on CNBC as my mom, a homemaker learned about finances herself. I grew up in a very frugal household who taught me about working hard and saving for the future. My mother was a homemaker or "domestic engineer" as she calls it and my father was a federal employee. I was fortunate to be introduced to Rita Abel and become the owner of her small, family owned financial planning firm in 2019. Today we work with approximately 60 families. What makes us unique is our passion to be "accountability partner's" for our clients to ensure they take care of the important financial matters in their lives. We are part financial advisors and party financial therapists for our married couples but most importantly we are organized, proactive and have a passion for financial planning. Looking forward to meeting and if you want to know more, I encourage you to read our google reviews online. Just search "Abel Financial Reviews" in google.
