Melia Advisory Group has expanded its retirement planning services in Tulsa, OK, introducing income-focused strategies for individuals nearing or in retirement, addressing market volatility and cash flow needs through customized portfolios.

-- Melia Advisory Group has expanded its retirement planning services in Tulsa, responding to the growing retirement-age population in the area, which surpassed 60,000 as of late 2025, according to recent demographic data. The firm's income-first approach involves constructing strategies around dependable income generation from assets such as bonds, moving away from reliance on a traditional 4 percent withdrawal framework rather than prioritizing capital appreciation.

The shift toward income-based retirement planning addresses a practical challenge many retirees face: growth-oriented strategies effective during working years may introduce additional risks once regular paychecks stop. Recent data indicates that individual retirement income averages approximately $60,000 annually, or around $5,000 per month, while couples typically receive about $100,000 yearly, or $8,300 monthly.
As the firm explains, retirement spending typically unfolds across three distinct phases—go-go years marked by active travel and exploration, slow-go years when discretionary spending declines, and no-go years focused on healthcare and essential expenses. Income planning becomes critical during these transitions, as retirees require dependable cash flow to navigate market volatility while maintaining their desired lifestyle.
Melia Advisory Group's proprietary strategies center on four core pillars customized to each client's circumstances. The firm helps minimize exposure to unnecessary market volatility by building portfolios designed to manage risk and support long-term retirement objectives. Advisors also pursue interest and dividend income, depending on market conditions and issuer factors, with less emphasis on capital appreciation.
Strategies balance income today with stable growth over time to position portfolios for long-term performance. The firm also prepares clients for contingencies such as medical needs, lifestyle changes, inflation, and unexpected events through strategies designed to support retirement plans over time. All portfolio management is conducted 100 percent in-house, providing direct oversight and cost control that distinguishes the firm from competitors who outsource investment management.
President Greg Melia leads the firm, which has over 45 years of combined team experience managing clients' financial resources. The team's fiduciary commitment ensures that every recommendation aligns with client interests, providing assurance to individuals navigating complex retirement decisions involving income needs, taxes, healthcare costs, market risks, and lifestyle goals.
