Submit ReviewAsk anyone and they'll most likely say they want to have a great retirement. But looking at the day to day financial decisions of most people might tell a different story.
What you do speaks so loud that I cannot hear what you say.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It's not enough to want a great retirement. You need to decide what it will look like, create a plan to work towards it and execute your plan day by day. In short, you need to live an intention life.
This was the message I heard loud and clear from this week's listener story.
"To this day, when I want something, I think through it and make sure I want it"
“I think mostly the freedom to set my own schedule. To enjoy anything I want to do."
“I do computer consulting on the side.”
“I do volunteer presentations at senior centers on technology.”
“I loved my day job, its just I wanted all of my own schedule."
The truth is, I feel much busier now that I can’t catch up with all the things I saved up wanting to do.”
“Actually, part of it is the challenge of planning money over time.”
“I just like doing whatever we want to do that week we’ve planned.”
“The usual three things, investment return income, expenses and inflation and longevity.”
“It’s been on my list to do”. I planned aggressively for retirement 8 years before I retired.”
“I need to…to give me a checkpoint, an alternative view and to help me check in every year or two.”
"Mine wasn’t how to get to retire, it’s how to manage the puzzle into the future.”
“Was not knowing about Total Market Indexes, 20 years ago.”
“It has been the fine tuning and optimizing…”
”My parents led by example. They lived below their means. They lived on one salary. They tracked their spending every day.”
"My parents taught me patience."
"Clarke Howard"
“As a whole, I just want to be a good, helpful person.”
