When a Layoff Hits Late in Your Career: Retirement Planning Strategies That Work

In this episode of The Retirement Compass, host Kristin Oakley sits down with Tim Kulhanek and Jeremy Gove of Stonebridge Wealth Systems to discuss the growing trend of unexpected job loss among Americans in their 50s and 60s—and how it can impact your retirement plans.

Layoffs, mergers, downsizing, and industry shifts are affecting workers across healthcare, manufacturing, agriculture, and beyond. The good news? A sudden job loss doesn’t have to derail your retirement—if you have the right plan in place.

📌In this episode, we cover:

✅Why more Americans are retiring earlier than planned (and not by choice)
✅Immediate steps to take after a job loss
✅How to manage cash flow, healthcare, and benefits during a transition
✅Avoiding costly retirement plan mistakes and tax penalties
