Retirement Coaching South Florida
Is Retirement Planning Right for You?
The ideal time to start planning for retirement is 5 – 10 years before the anticipated retirement date. This gives you time to put all the elements in place, including finances, so that you are ready for the challenges of change on day one. However, it is also for those who find themselves unexpectedly retired and need to develop a plan fast! Finally, it is also for that person who looked forward to retirement, planned for it financially, and has enjoyed the leisure, the travel, the golf, tennis and bridge, but finds they are restless, not feeling relevant and want something new for themselves, but never developed the techniques needed to create it.
Coaching Services: How it works.
In the initial visit, together, we will discover your position and attitude about where you are on retirement.
We will conduct an initial discovery session regarding any planning you’ve done for your retirement, if any. We will gauge your feelings about your financial readiness for retirement and whether you are working with an actual financial advisor.
Then we can venture into the main thing we do. Find out what you want your retirement to really look like.
Not financially but the life you will be living.
We will discuss your family dynamic and if your retirement will be as a retiring couple or single and how far away you are from that.
We will explore your feelings about your current work life and how you see that playing out as you transition into retirement.
We will explore your thoughts about enrichment opportunities. Will you be engaging in volunteer work? Do you think retirement would make a void in your life in any area? If so, what will you fill it with? Will you write your retirement memoirs? Will you take up an artistic or literary endeavor? Maybe go back to school or start a business you’ve always dreamed of.
How will you maintain a sense of purpose?
We will explore your dreams—anything as yet unfulfilled? What of those dreams do you want to accomplish? What have you always wanted to do, but never got the chance?
We will open the door to what your philosophy really is about retirement.
Do you even believe in retirement?
Have you discussed end of life planning such as a will. Will you be downsizing your family home? Will you be traveling the country in an RV and spending time in different areas all year or seasonally? Have you decided how you will handle your own aging parents?
