Las Vegas, NV — Patrick Cotter, founder of Cotter Financial Group, is helping pre-retirees and retirees bring clarity and confidence to one of the most critical phases of life: the Retirement Red Zone, the ten years before and after retirement.
Cotter Financial Group was recently featured in an interview on KTNV’s “The Morning Blend,” where Patrick discussed how proactive, lifestyle-based retirement planning can help families prepare for uncertainty while maximizing enjoyment and peace of mind in retirement.
“Retirement planning isn’t just about numbers—it’s about how you want to live,” Cotter explained. “We help clients align their financial strategy with their values, relationships, and how they want to spend their most valuable asset: time.”
Preparing for retirement requires more than simply reaching a certain age or account balance. According to Cotter, the most successful retirement plans begin with thoughtful conversations well before retirement starts, focusing on income stability, legacy goals, and protection against unforeseen challenges.
A key element of this planning process is addressing the fear many retirees share: running out of money. Cotter emphasizes building safe, predictable income strategies designed to weather market volatility while supporting a client’s desired lifestyle. By coordinating retirement income, Social Security optimization, tax-efficient wealth transfer, and estate planning, clients are better prepared for both expected and unexpected events.
Another cornerstone of Cotter’s approach is helping clients ask the right questions. Cotter encourages retirees to reflect on what truly matters most in their next chapter and whether their current plan supports those priorities. By answering these questions early, individuals can move forward with greater confidence and clarity.
Ultimately, Cotter believes peace of mind comes from preparation. “When you’ve taken the time to plan for uncertainty—health events, market shifts, or legacy concerns—you’re free to focus on enjoying retirement instead of worrying about it,” he said.
Cotter Financial Group provides concierge-level retirement planning services tailored to each client’s lifestyle and goals. Through an educational, values-based process, Patrick Cotter helps individuals and families transition into retirement with confidence, purpose, and control.
