Maximize Enjoyment
July 5, 2024
Retirement should be all about relaxation and enjoyment, but that doesn’t mean winding down.
While helping ensure that you have enough money saved to live comfortably is a big factor for happiness in retirement, studies show that life satisfaction tops out at an annual salary of around $75,0001 and that staying healthy2, remaining socially active3, and remaining intellectually stimulated4 are all ways to maintain quality of life while going through the drastic change of entering retirement.
Perhaps there is a hobby you were only able to dabble in during working years? Retirement is the chance to immerse yourself in it and possibly find a new community along the way. A retirement lifestyle also allows you the time and confidence to try new things that may have interested you in the past, but that were too time- or cost-prohibitive.
The possibilities are nearly limitless. The only real question is what YOU want to make out of your golden years. You have spent a lifetime working, building, and saving for retirement. One of the best ways to reward yourself for all that effort is to make sure you get the most out of everything you have earned.
As you continue to build up – or prepare to enter into – retirement we can help make sure all your plans are in place. Schedule your consultation and make sure you are ready for all the excitement retirement can bring.
