Someday Is Here. Reimagining Retirement.
Are you or someone you love considering retirement within the next 5 years? One of the best things you can do is ensure you are both financially and psychologically prepared. While it’s vital to stay on top of financial and practical matters, it is also a time of reshaping your identity from your current professional role to something new. We recommend looking at retirement as the next chapter of your life – one that holds great possibility and the opportunity to do something extraordinary with your time, passion and talents. You get to write this exciting chapter and it is important to take time now to think about how you want to live out that next adventure.
While exciting, this can be an emotionally difficult experience. To make this important life transition, we recommend taking time to reflect, explore and establish what your ideal outcomes look like for the next phase of your life. To get started, you may ask yourself:
- What does success look like now? (Professionally, financially, personally)
- What would bring me the most purpose and meaning in retirement?
- What does my ideal life look and feel like five (or ten) years from now?
- What challenges, fears, and worries do I have about retirement?
Your Wealth Confidant is here to support you and your family through this process. A great resource we like to use and recommend is the book Hello Someday, co-authored by John Christianson, which reimagines retirement as an opportunity to build on your accomplishments, discover new passions and find new ways to contribute. Filled with questions, inspiration, ideas, and activities to encourage new thinking and new possibilities, it celebrates everything you’ve accomplished so far and all that is still to come.
We have copies of Hello Someday available for our Highland community – request one for yourself or a friend here.
