Whether you’re almost ready to retire or just (wisely) planning ahead, there are five tips that can help optimize savings when withdrawing your investments.

Test your knowledge:
  1. Don’t dive straight into your 401(k) or IRA — you could cost yourself years’ worth of income in retirement savings. Tip or Mistake?
  2. Don’t automatically claim Social Security benefits at age 62. Tip or Mistake?
  3. Do start auto-withdrawing money from your 401(k) when you turn 59-and-a-half. Tip or Mistake?*

📸 Spotted: Celebrities in DFW

Between the Country Music Awards, PBR, and the filming of “1883: The Bass Reeves Series” — North Texas has turned into a hotspot for sighting celebrities.

Here’s where the rich and famous are hanging out across North Texas.

Martha Stewart | Rise

The television personality and writer was spotted dining at Rise last month while in town for a speaking engagement for SMU’s Tate Lecture Series. She dined with Martha Stewart Living staffer Claudia Lieto-McKenna and ate what looks to be the spinach soufflé.

Cole Hauser | Dickies Arena

The “Yellowstone” actor who plays Rip was spotted in a photo with youth bull rider Najiah Knight during the PBR Finals. As the new brand ambassador and creative partner of PBR, Cole filmed a new campaign during the event, which will soon air on CBS.

And from the looks of it, Cole will be spending even more time in Cowtown. He posted a picture earlier this week congratulating his son on his admission to TCU this fall.

From the editor
Just one day after sharing some local U-Pick farms, Pecan Creek Strawberry Farm announced that it closed for the summer.

If you’re looking for another place to pick some berries, Blase Family Farm in Rockwall is one of my favorite spots to pick blueberries. They’ll be open for 3-5 more weeks this season.
