About the event
Based on material from his latest book, “So You Think You Are Ready To Retire?”, Barry’s presentation will guide us on topics such as:
• The myths and misconceptions surrounding retirement and aging
• How to prepare yourself mentally for retirement and beyond
• Planning for the last third of your life
• Aging and relationships
• How leisure changes as you get older
• Planning for the expected and unexpected
• The role that your advisor plays in helping you build your plan
This information is mostly geared toward current retirees and pre-retirees (those between the ages of 40-65), however it may also be helpful for children of retirees to understand some of the things that their parents might be going through.
You will learn some things that you may not have known about retirement such as:
- Five things that may surprise and shock you about retirement
- The formula for retirement happiness based on solid research
- The 'ideal' retirement personality to get the most out of this next phase
- Why money is not the key to a successful retirement
- How you can retire on considerably less than you think
- The keys to making a successful transition
- The role that money plays as you get older
