Beware of the Hidden Slings and Arrows of Retirement!

​Retirement time…Woo Hoo!  Sipping mint juleps on the front porch after a nice round of golf while stare longingly into your spouse’s eyes.  Both of you silently reflecting on a life well planned and enjoyed.

Okay, it’s wake up time!  Idyllic visions like that are unfortunately usually relegated to a movie theatre, Norman Rockwell fantasies or a youth spent enjoying too much of what the 1960’s had to offer.  The reality for most folks is, retirement reality can often be a hard slap in the face.  Insufficient savings, inefficient income plans, volatile markets, insurance, housing and medical expenses are but a few of the sharp and unforgiving realities many retirees face.

So what to do?  Well, the simple answers are, if you are not yet retired:

• Educate yourself on the issues
• Plan for the problems
• Plan to eliminate the problems
• Act on your plans!

If you are already retired;

• Be honest about identifying your issues
• Educate yourself on potential solutions
• Learn about alternatives
• Act on making essential survival changes!

No problem, right?! We are going to talk an awful lot about the problems many retirees face but more important, the potential solutions you may be able to find.  The time to make changes is now.  Curling up into a ball has rarely worked for anyone, including most of the animal kingdom.  See a problem.  Talk about a problem.  Get a solution to a problem.  One problem at a time.  Taking things one bite at a time can sometimes make the difference in being able to tackle larger issues or being tackled by them.

So, just click the headline below to listen in.
