Wise Quotes
On The Importance of Planning
On Purpose in Retirement
“We’re definitely seeing people ask in our community for ideas on how to spend their time, if it’s volunteering or if it’s work or starting companies. Being thoughtful about purpose – it’s worth it to take some time and think about how you’re going to spend your own time, where you want to see that invested in and what you want to see the result of that time.”
On The Impact of COVID-19 on Retirement Planning
“I think another thing that’s happened is like the people are getting a preview of what retirement could be if they are not too thoughtful about it. It’s like Groundhog day, right? It’s like the same day over and over – What are we doing today? We’re going to go for a hike. What’s for dinner? That’s anybody watched the movie Groundhog day again. Doesn’t look like a lot of fun. Let’s be thoughtful about how we’re going to spend our time.
