An increasing number of people age 55 and older are retiring1. And while it’s unknown whether this pandemic-induced increase will be temporary or long-lasting, it’s another reminder that regardless of your age, it’s never too early to begin creating the vision of your ideal retirement.
What does a meaningful retirement look like for you? The answer is most impactful when it comes from a financial standpoint and a mindful one.
You are likely already considering the financial side. But the transition to retirement—or really to any phase in life—is more meaningful when you’re clear about your personal intent; that will be your compass to navigate toward success. It’s what can align your financial planning with your values. And it’s a conversation with your-self that can begin now.
“We all have a purpose. But are you in sync with understanding what that looks like? And can you verbalize it? That will ultimately allow you to work toward it.”
