Maybe retirement is something you dream about on your Monday commute after a relaxing weekend getaway, or after a round of golf with friends that leaves you wishing you had more time to work on your short game.

Regardless of life stage or career trajectory, retirement is something almost everyone thinks about.

Planning for “life after work” is a specialty of ours at MWWM. The million-dollar questions we get asked all the time?  When can I retire and will I have enough to not outlive my assets?

While we love helping our clients answer those questions, we encourage everyone to start with a different question: What am I retiring to?

It’s been our privilege to help many clients transition from full-time work to retirement. Many have chosen to spend their days on their favorite hobbies, including one who started playing with a band that gets together several times a week to rehearse and performs gigs in their area each weekend. This client didn’t just retire FROM work, he retired TO something, creating a second career out of something he loves.

We love seeing clients thrive in retirement, but there’s another scenario that is not uncommon. A few months after the novelty of sleeping in, weekday tee times and unlimited reading time wears off, some experience a bit of depression – asking themselves: Now what do I do?

One retired TO something, one retired FROM something.

Which do you prefer?

Give us a call. We will help you figure it out.
