How to Retire to Abundance:

When I talk about retiring to abundance, I am not talking about retiring with the biggest number on a statement or the most optimized social security claiming strategy (although they certainly don't hurt ☺️). I am talking about retiring with enough clarity and confidence to actually use the resources you worked decades to build. Most people I work with have done the saving part well. The harder part is learning how to shift from preparation to permission. This month's newsletter is all about that transition, and how to make sure your retirement is not just financially secure, but fully lived.

Retirement is a Sprint, Not a Marathon

You've probably heard in the other way: retirement (or life) is not a sprint; it's a marathon. But the reality of life, especially in retirement, is that we are "sprinting" at the beginning, when we have health and energy, whether we know it or not. If we wait too long to do all those "things" they may never happen, especially because none of us know exactly what that future timeline looks like. Obviously, we need to be smart with our "sprint" out of the retirement gate (the article discusses several ways to spend wisely and intentionally), but "the real wealth of retirement is our health. We must use it while we have it."

This is another great article from one of my favorite retirement bloggers. If you are 50-70 years old I hope this will encourage you to.....(insert your dream).

The Biggest Challenge in Retirement: When Saving Becomes the Problem

Most people think the biggest challenge in retirement is managing all the investments, and keeping track of taxes, and making sure they don't run out of money. Or maybe it's finding a new social group or structuring a meaningful day. Sure, these are all challenges to navigate, but I've seen the biggest challenge is actually the fear and attachments and emotions we have tied up in our money holding us back. It's...not spending enough!
