Are you approaching retirement but feel like you’re not quite ready to stop working? You’re not alone. In this episode of What Happens Next, host Chris Daems challenges the outdated idea of retirement as a full stop—and instead encourages you to design a life filled with purpose, flexibility, and fulfillment.
Chris shares powerful insights drawn from decades of experience as a financial planner, highlighting why emotional readiness matters just as much as financial planning. Learn about the change curve, the importance of avoiding the “retirement cliff,” and why the retirement flight path may be a better approach.
Discover four practical strategies you can start using today:
