Military retirement planning

Military retirement comes with decisions you only get to make once.

Joshua helps senior military leaders line up the pension, SBP, TSP, benefits, taxes, and next career before the important windows close.

Talk With Joshua
A free 30-minute fit conversation. No paperwork. Spouses welcome.
Not ready to talk? Take the free assessment.

The decisions do not arrive in a neat order.

Your pension, SBP election, TSP, benefits, taxes, and civilian pay can affect one another. Joshua helps you see the sequence before a deadline or election makes the choice harder to change.

Bring the decision in front of you.

Start with the deadline, election, or transition that is taking up the most space.

See what it affects.

Trace the decision through the rest of the plan, including the tradeoffs your family will live with.

Leave with a clear next move.

Know what needs action now, what can wait, and what still needs an honest conversation.

The first call is a conversation, not an intake exam.

You do not need statements, account numbers, or a polished explanation of your finances. Start with the decision that brought you here.

A spouse or partner is welcome. Joshua will ask enough to understand the situation and see whether working together makes sense.

If it is not the right fit, he will say so and point you toward a sensible next step.

What guides the work

Money should serve the family. It should not become the mission.

The family is part of the plan.

A decision can look sound on paper and still be wrong for the people who have to live with it. Spouses and partners belong in the conversation.

Advice comes before products.

The job is to help you make a good decision. If a product belongs in the answer, Joshua will explain why and what it costs.

Plain answers beat polished salesmanship.

You should understand the recommendation, the tradeoffs, and the next step without learning a new financial vocabulary.

Faith informs Joshua's work without pressuring the client.

Stewardship, service, and honesty shape the work. Clients are never expected to share Joshua's beliefs.
