Top advisors focused on early retirement planning in New York

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.

Planning to retire early means you need to carefully balance your savings, spending, and investment growth to avoid running out of money too soon. A common mistake is underestimating how long your money needs to last or how inflation and taxes will affect your withdrawals.

  • Withdrawal strategy. Ask how they plan your yearly spending to keep your savings sustainable over decades, not just a few years.
  • Tax impact awareness. Early retirement often means paying taxes differently; confirm they consider how withdrawals affect your tax brackets and future tax bills.
  • Healthcare planning. Since Medicare starts at 65, check how they help you cover health insurance costs before then without derailing your budget.
  • Income sources coordination. Early retirees often juggle pensions, Social Security, and investments; ask how they sequence these to maximize your income and minimize taxes.

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.
