Hello! I've been excited to take on the "Ask an Advisor" advice column where real financial professionals answer questions from real people. The topic can be anything in the world of finance, from retirement to taxes to wealth management — or even advice on advising. This week, a financial advisor asked how they can help their clients retire to, not from, something. Here's Part 1 (be sure to check back next week for Part 2). Please email me at robert.burgess@arizent.com if you have questions for future columns.

As always, thank you for reading. Talk to you next Wednesday!
