Frequently Heard

"Retirement planning is all about having the right financial plan."

It is a common belief that successful retirement rests on financial planning alone. But when you face changes in your daily routine, status, and social contacts, it’s the non-financial aspect that will determine if this important period of your life is meaningful or regretful. It’s about finding meaning, purpose, and identity in your new life. What is becoming most important to you in life?

"Can't wait for having my spouse all to myself."

Well . . . Just make sure your spouse is in full agreement. If you have never discussed and agreed on topics such as time together and time apart, when to retire, finances, changing roles/identity, family obligations, where to live, end of life issues or legacy plans, you might be heading into a conflict zone.

"I want to remain relevant!"

One effective way to try is to take a personal inventory of who you are and what are your skills and assets. Then look for a need within your family or community where you can offer your help.

"Does retirement mean I’ll never work again?"

It depends. Some people choose to continue working but at a flexible schedule, while others may opt to start a second career or build their own business. Whatever you decide, without planning ahead you'd find it much harder to find a starting point.

"Now I can spend all my time with my grandkids!"

And how wonderfully rewarding this may be. Yet, grandchildren grow up quickly and move on with their own friends and new interests. With all that newly found time on your hands how would you continue to live your life to the fullest?

"I'll have all the time in the world to figure things out once I am retired."

Transitioning to a post career life can be challenging to many people. You shift overnight from a structured and fast-paced work life to having a complete freedom to decide on how to spend all that free time. How'd you plan ahead for this challenge? Will you have enough interests to keep you engaged rather than mere busy?

"Not to worry, I have loads of friends!"

When in the workforce your social network is often dominated by work colleagues. Studies show that once retiring, many retirees experience reduction in social participation. Invest in activities that also provide social engagement. For example – environmental, social, political causes, non-profit activities that revolve around doing good and not just doing well.
