Life is about more than money.and so is retirement.
Danes has written a publication that can help you do some self-evaluation of what's important in life. For example, if you're interested in being a snowbird when you retire, start taking some of these trips during leisure time before you retire. Her publication has several worksheets that help you identify problem areas and issues that can be addressed before you retire, ideally by mid-life years. Approaching a major life transition is taxing on energy, thoughts and emotions. The self-inventory questions from the worksheets will give you a clearer picture of how to proceed through retirement.
