The Next Chapter

This isn’t your grandpa’s retirement—and you don’t have to settle for the rocking chair. Today’s retirees are healthier, more engaged and more active than ever before, and can look forward to longer lives. Those who have done a good job planning for this financially will have many new choices to consider. How will they spend their time? Where will they live? What new interests, skills, or hobbies will they choose to pursue? How will they finance their retirement dreams of travel and leisure? And what about the emotional challenges retirement can bring? How do we cope with the loss of our old schedules, our work relationships, and a lot more face time with our significant others? How can we rekindle old friendships and cultivate new ones? How can we cope with the challenges presented by aging, death of friends or partners, and hang onto our optimism and engagement with life? And what kind of legacy will we leave when we go? Wealth Management specialist Crystal Garrett has helped hundreds prepare for and enjoy their retirement, and in The Next Chapter she shares what she’s learned in the process; not only the financial side of keeping your nest egg intact but the social and emotional sides of the equation. Her objective is helping the reader to fully embrace and enjoy this exciting and sometimes daunting new chapter in life and learn how to win at retirement.
