All three are avoidable with a review before you commit.
Questions to ask any advisor
Before working with anyone on catch up contributions age 60-63, ask three things. First: are you licensed in California, and can I verify it? (Our CA license numbers are listed on this site.) Second: how are you paid, and does any recommendation change that? Third: what happens if my situation changes — health, market, family? A trustworthy advisor answers all three without hesitation. If you get vagueness instead, keep looking.

Where catch up contributions age 60-63 touches any of those, the calendar can matter as much as the strategy. Sonora families who map their personal deadlines a year ahead consistently keep more options open than those who react at the last minute.
