Preparing for Retirement (ADV)
Preparing for Retirement
— 8000 Days —
An Entire Phase of Your Life
Waiting to be Invented

Noon to 1 p.m.
With today’s rising lifespans, we could be facing roughly 20 or more years in retirement, which is approximately 8,000 days. Once thought of this way, it becomes clearer that retirement is not an end, but rather a new, complex, and unknown phase of life, during which so much could happen.
It’s often asked, “What will you do on Day One of your retirement?” Most people have a clear image of Day One. Maybe even Day 1,001. But few can imagine 8,000 days of golf, and even fewer have a vision of what they will be doing on any given day—such as Day 4,567.
Getting started on the right foot can be crucial.
