Retirement isn’t just about money, but also purpose.

Then, have a financial plan, yes, but also build hobbies, friendships, and routines that keep you engaged. More importantly, health is wealth! stay active.

And if you have a spouse, discuss expectations early. A happy retirement is one where you still feel useful and connected. I feel so blessed that he's still here with me.

Well said! Financial security is just one piece of the puzzle. Staying mentally and physically engaged is just as crucial. I’d add that problem-solving never stops, even in retirement.

Whether it's picking up a new hobby or navigating relationships, having a structured approach helps keep life fulfilling
