Retirement Planning for Pre-Retirees & Retirees
Values-Guided Income & Legacy in the Brainerd Lakes Area

Your Retirement Strategy Should Keep Up With Real Life

As retirement approaches, the questions naturally shift from “How do we save?” to “How do we make this last — for our lifestyle, our family, and our values?” At Lemieux Wealth Strategies in Baxter, Minnesota, we proudly serve the Brainerd Lakes area as a multi-generational family firm managing approximately $173 million in assets as of July 31, 2026. Led by Brian Lemieux and his daughter Andrea Lemieux Lundberg, we create coordinated, tax-efficient retirement plans rooted in wise stewardship. Using The Lemieux Legacy Blueprint™, we help you turn savings into reliable income, minimize taxes, protect what you’ve built, and leave a meaningful legacy for the generations that follow.

Prepare for Retirement with Confidence

Prepare for Retirement with Confidence

Retirement is about more than reaching a number — it’s about enjoying the life you’ve worked hard for while staying prepared for whatever comes next.

Turn Your Savings Into a Reliable Income Strategy

  • We design tax-efficient withdrawal plans, optimize Social Security timing, and coordinate pensions, IRAs, and other income sources so you can spend with confidence instead of worry.

Stay Ahead of Taxes and Other Financial Tradeoffs

  • Retirement decisions impact taxes in powerful ways. Using softwares available to our firm, we proactively minimize taxes on distributions, Roth conversions, and portfolio income — helping you keep more of what you’ve earned.

Support Family While Staying Focused on Your Own Future

  • Whether you’re helping adult children, planning for grandchildren, or caring for aging parents, we help you balance generosity with long-term security and multi-generational legacy goals.

Frequently Asked Questions About Financial Planning for Pre-Retirees & Retirees

  • Who do you typically work with?

    We work with pre-retirees and retirees in the Brainerd Lakes area who want a coordinated, values-driven approach to retirement. This includes those a few years from retiring who want to make smart final decisions, as well as those already retired who need help managing income, taxes, investments, and legacy planning.

  • How do I know if I’m really ready to retire?

    Readiness is about more than one number. We use The Lemieux Legacy Blueprint™ and RightCapital modeling to look at your full picture — savings, expected expenses, income sources, tax implications, healthcare needs, and legacy goals — so you can retire with clarity and confidence.

  • What changes once I move from saving for retirement to living on my assets?

    The focus shifts from accumulation to coordination and distribution. We help you navigate withdrawal sequencing, tax-efficient income strategies, Social Security optimization, and portfolio adjustments so your money lasts as long as you do.

  • Can you help me think through Social Security, income, and taxes together?

    Yes — these decisions are deeply connected. We model multiple scenarios with RightCapital to show you the real impact of different timing and strategies, helping you make choices that maximize your after-tax income and legacy.

  • What if I’m also helping adult children or aging parents?

    This is very common in our multi-generational client families. We help you balance support for loved ones with your own long-term security — creating a comprehensive plan that honors your values and desire to care for your family across generations.

Retirement Planning Is More Than Reaching a Number

It’s about creating a clear, values-guided path that gives you confidence today and peace of mind for tomorrow. Whether you’re still working or already enjoying retirement, we provide the guidance, education, and continuity you can count on.
