Hi, I’m George Kosovich, the person behind Bridge and Retire.
For years, I’ve been digging into early retirement from investing and taxes, to healthcare planning and withdrawal strategies. One thing I’ve noticed is that many people delay retirement not because they don’t want to stop working, but because they’re worried they haven’t built a strong enough bridge from their last paycheck to pension or Social Security income.
Bridge and Retire exists to solve that problem. My goal is to provide practical, clear, and actionable information that helps people confidently navigate the transition into retirement. I focus on breaking down complex financial topics so you can make smart decisions without feeling overwhelmed.
Education
- Bachelor’s Degree in Business/Finance — University of Oregon
- Master’s Degree — UCLA School of Public Affairs
Professional Experience
- 20+ years in community development, including work with financial institutions, nonprofits, and local governments
- Individual tax preparation experience

This combination of finance, policy, and real-world experience gives me a practical perspective on how to help people plan a smooth, secure path to retirement.
