You may recall Marilyn’s witticisms as she moved us through her stories. One statement on her book cover is: “This ain’t your grandma’s retirement.” Oh, so true, Marilyn. That is so true.

Imagine, that you’re taking a break from checking your morning email when you notice the retirement countdown clock, at the corner of your desk. The clock was a joke from one of your actively retired friends, 2 years earlier. At this moment the clock reads, 665 Days, 7 Hours, 30 Minutes and 40 Seconds. You’re suddenly in a state of panic.
Financially, you’re good to go. All annuities are sufficiently funded, your Social Security strategy is in place, and your checking, savings and emergency fund accounts are just where you want them. Dave Ramsey, Chris Hogan and Suze Orman would have no issues with you. However, you’ve neglected to plan your transition from pre-retirement to post-retirement activities. What are you going to do? How are you going to feel the first morning after the giddiness of your retirement party has worn off and you wake up with freedom from your alarm clock, a morning commute or even a scheduled team meeting? You are not alone.
On this podcast, we always provide opportunities to recognize and celebrate birthdays with our listeners by offering a fun story or fun birthday trivia. Today’s birthday trivia is: Noisemakers were used to scare away evil spirits and demons on someone’s birthday.
