Retirement: is the Mother of all life’s transitions!
Aging: relentlessly pushes “Mother” along.
Retirement Planning: the solution / resolution between the two.
Which is your REALITY?
Do you see retirement through a binocular or a telescope?
Boomers usually view later-life reality through the singular telescope of retirement, not through the ‘binocular’ of retirement and aging. Why? Because few want to acknowledge and deal with the life imposition aging really is.
Regardless, the two are inseparable. So the question is: How can you maximize retirement’s fullness and minimize effects of aging? Answer: plan out retirement as if your “retirement life” depended on it. Actually, it does.
Societal culture does not help with this the personal transition from career to retirement. It's too personally complex. If you don't become the personal planner for later-life, no one else will.
Individuals handle retirement in various ways. Some, who may seem to be most prepared for retirement, can begin to lose their sense of identity, who they really are, bringing on self-questioning.
Unhealthy resolution of retirement challenges can also lead to a sense of a retirement lacking meaning. Often when this occurs, a lack-lustre sense of living can manifest in non-involvement, critical attitudes and indifference.
The key to avoiding these pitfalls is to determine who you really are, deep down. Taking the Retirement Success Profile (see to top of home page menu bar) provides you with a mirror, providing accurate information about yourself you can greatly use in making the best possible later-life choices.
