Aligning your Wealth & Life to overcome fears andsecure your income, lifestyle, & comfort to age 105

Was life ever a flat-line?

• Born in 19__, grew each day.• Kindergarten, school, university.• Single, married, changes continued...• Children grew, parents aged, on it goes.• One career, two careers, three careers, four.• Lifelong learning, continued development• WHAT ABOUT RETIREMENT?

Flat-line in Retirement?

• Is retirement a final stage of life? Is this the end, the green pasture, final hurrah, curtain?

• If you’ve engaged a financial planner or used retirement software, did you get a print-out suggesting retirement is a single final time with a fixed income from age 65 to death?

• Is that how you really feel it should be?

Compare these: which is YOU?

Retirement Lifestyles You Choose

• Would you phase your early steps into retirement?

• Early retirement means recognizing and achieving our “bucket list” goals and living our dreams while we have maximum capacity to enjoy them

• Mid-retirement can be a time of pictures & stories, less travel, lower spending, peace and contentment.

• Later senior years suggest high costs for health care, personal comfort and dignity; higher needs then.

Who is helping you think this way?

• Life coach / life planner?• Speaking with family members?• What example do you see in others? • What does “advertising” suggest to you?• How will you create your own life?• Video ... “Visioning your Retirement Lifestyle”
