Right Accounts in the Right Order - Prioritizing Your Savings as a Pre-Retiree in 2025

Welcome to a new week here on the Retirement Quick Tips podcast! I’m your host, Ashley Micciche.

I’m a financial advisor and co-owner of True North Retirement Advisors, a fee-only fiduciary financial advisory practice managing over $425M in assets. 

For 17 years, I’ve helped clients retire with confidence, and my goal on this podcast is to simplify the complexities of retirement planning so you can focus on what truly matters—enjoying your retirement years while maintaining financial security.

So this week, I’ll break down each step in the savings optimization ladder…what to focus on first, and what you should focus on next as you check each box and move up the ladder. If you pay attention to the right savings amounts in the right order in the right accounts, you’ll be better off than most Americans and be more flexible with your finances, and set yourself up for more long-term financial stability.
