Episode 230 of our Retire With Style podcast is out now! When most people think about retirement planning, they immediately think about investments, withdrawal rates, taxes, and Social Security. Those topics matter, of course, but retirement is ultimately about much more than numbers.
In this week’s episode of Retire With Style, Alex and I are joined by Jason Rizkallah from McLean Asset Management to discuss the non-financial side of retirement planning. We talk about the importance of retiring to something instead of simply retiring from work, how to think about purpose and identity after your career ends, and why many retirees struggle even when they are financially prepared. We also explore phased retirement, maintaining structure and social connection, testing retirement goals before fully committing to them, and how work can still play a meaningful role in retirement for some people.
One of the key themes from the conversation is that your financial plan should support the life you want to live, not the other way around. That means thinking carefully about how you want to spend your time, what gives you meaning, and what kind of retirement lifestyle you truly want to build. Listen now to learn more!
