Reimagining Retirement: 9 Keys to True Wealth

Retirement today is a lot more complex than the retirement of our parents and grandparents. Our expectations for what we want out of life are different from previous generations. We see more possibilities, but we also face more pitfalls and hurdles. We want to not only live longer but live better. We want to enjoy today but must prepare for many tomorrows. We don’t want our lives to stop now that our careers no longer define us. We feel capable of doing so many things with our time and life experience. We don’t see why we should not keep pushing ahead by learning and experiencing new things and challenging ourselves to keep growing, rather than just wilting away with diminished expectations.Whether you are newly retired or simply in the early stages of planning, the possibilities for what you want to do in the future are endless. As our choices have expanded, we are often left more confused and stressed. More choices imply more decisions and responsibility but Eric J. Weigel shows that the solution to finding joy and fulfillment in the sea of complexity and confusion that characterizes today’s retirement world is to start with what you want and then work backward. It involves becoming completely clear about your vision for your Future Self—who you want to be, what you aspire to, and what type of life you want to lead, all in alignment with your core values and beliefs.The clearer you are about your Future Self, the less distracted you’ll be with today’s complex and endless options. You’ll know where you want to go and plan accordingly. You’ll deal with today’s complexity and the vast range of choices by, ironically, rejecting the majority of possible paths you could take. Your focus will be your strength.In this book, you’ll learn how to formulate the vision of your Future Self by combining your values, beliefs, aspirations, and purpose for why this is your chosen destiny. Your Future Self answers your what and why.Along with your vision of your Future Self, you’ll need a system for creating the change you want.
