For many people, retirement represents crossing the finish line, the culmination of a long career. Yet in reality, retirement is not so much an ending as it is a beginning-the beginning of a stage that requires careful planning and consideration beyond financial concerns.
If you think getting ready for retirement simply involves saving enough money, perhaps it's time to reconsider and let The Art of Retiring Whole open your eyes to the wide range of issues faced by retirees today.
Improvements in health care mean that many folks live another twenty or thirty years after retirement. So beyond the month-long cruise that you're planning, how will you meaningfully fill your days?
Financial advisor and retirement expert Ryan S. Kidd will help you navigate this question and others, guiding you through the process of assessing your "retirement readiness" and helping you make sure you've adequately planned for the non-financial aspects of your future.
So whether you're a few months or several years away from the golden years of retirement, decide to prepare for a future in which you're not only financially secure but also wonderfully fulfilled in your relationships, community involvement, and personal identity.
