Did you know that psychologists have determined that retirement is the 10th most stressful event that you can experience in life? It falls right behind major challenges like losing a spouse, divorce, or even going to jail. But with the right approach, this transition doesn’t have to be overwhelming.

In this episode, we’ll explore practical ways to manage stress in retirement, from financial preparation and goal setting to staying socially connected and finding purpose in your daily life. Listen in as we talk about how, with the right strategies in place, retirement can be a time of growth and enjoyment.

Here’s what we discuss in today’s show:

  • Navigating identity loss after retirement
  • Some of the income questions you’ll face as you near retirement
  • Having a plan in place to alleviate stress, especially if you’re 10 or few years away from retirement
  • The stress of tax and healthcare planning in retirement

Key Takeaway

“All we do here is focus on retirement planning. We go through all of your options.”
