Description
This September, we're doing something a bit different. We're revisiting the basics with a refresher on the eight pillars of rocking retirement—four financial and four non-financial pillars that form the foundation for a great life. Too often, retirement planning gets bogged down with too many details and the pressure to get everything right. But in my experience, focusing on the most important things gets you 90% of the way there. This month, we’ll air classic episodes to revisit these pillars, starting today with the first two financial pillars: Vision and Feasibility.
The first financial pillar we are going to discuss is VISION. How do you start to figure out your vision in retirement? We would suggest reconnecting with who you actually are outside of your identity as an employee and identifying your core values. The second pillar in the financial realm is having a FEASIBLE plan. The objective is to establish a foundation of a safe path that is feasible given the resources and the choices that you are willing to make.
