Aaron Kersch and Laura Zettel-Watson joined forces to answer the question “What if there was a way to help everyone design their dream retirement before they even stepped into the office of a Financial Planner?”

Aaron is the financial planner, Laura is a psychologist and a gerontologist (among other things!) The answer to that question is "The Rewarding Retirement Workbook: Six Essentials Beyond Your Nest Egg”.

Today they discuss:

  • Research: 50% of happiness is predetermined by genes, 8-15% comes from circumstances like income
  • Hedonic and eudaimonic happiness
  • Relationships matter more than money for happiness
  • Focus on activities rather than goals
  • Behavioural finance
  • Go-Go Years, Slow-Go Years, and No-Go Years

Aaron and Laura also discuss the Six Essentials Beyond our Nest Egg and why we Boomer Women are unique in history.
