The Biggest Surprises In Retirement - Podcast #202

November 1, 2021

This week I share some interesting research and insights on how to prepare for the biggest surprises in Retirement, both financial and non-financial.

It’s not the Destination, It’s the journey.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, Self-Reliance

We will mostly all agree that ‘Life’ is not about reaching some destination in a particular state, but rather a thing to be enjoyed along the way, right!? The same can be said of our financial lives; it’s not simply about reaching a particular age with a particular sum of wealth.

Learn about the other aspects we ought to consider and prepare for in our journey.
