SUSTAINED

ACHIEVE A MEANINGFUL, ACTIVE, SUSTAINED & HEALTHY LIFE AFTER WORK

Picture your life in 5 years, 15, 25… Where do you want to live, go, with what frequency? Please take some time to strategically approach retirement to make these some of your best years. We can help you reach those goals for years in the future to enjoy life with family and friends.

Its about both Quality and Quantity

  • No one wants to be incapacitated for years (low quality and high quantity life)
  • You’ve worked hard for retirement – now let’s work together to enjoy it for a long time (high quality AND high quantity)
  • Sustained quality living
  • Be on the same page as your spouse so you can enjoy this next phase of life together.
  • How does your relationship with your spouse change now that one or both of you are retired?
  • It’s common for spouses to avoid discussions of what they plan for retirement, and surprisingly, they may have different wants & needs.
  • This can lead to a high rate of divorce.
  • Care of aging parents or other loved ones
  • Facilitate conversations with family members to adjust to changing life circumstances of spouses, children, grandchildren and parents.
  • Balancing care of others with your own needs.
  • Addressing worries about finances
  • Financial balance to both enjoy retirement and have reserve for changes in the future
  • Transitioning to part-time work where you’re no longer the boss – different dynamic
  • Create new social network beyond old coworkers
  • Who is your support network to help your as life continues to change?
  • Changing dynamics of family and friend relationships as you no longer have coworkers.
  • Life skill development – cooking, meal planning, household tasks, even small daily life management skills that someone else used to to (NOTE: this is my uncle!!)
  • Go into details of this under “healthy”
  • Eating healthy with food you really like
