You've spent years planning how to retire. But have you planned how to live once you get there?
Retirement is one of the biggest transitions of your life. Yet most retirement planning focuses on one thing: money.
Your pension matters. Your savings matter. Your retirement income matters.
But they won't tell you what to do on a Tuesday morning when there is no job to go to.
They won't tell you who you are without your career, how retirement may change your relationship, how to make new friends, how to stay physically and mentally active, or how to build a life that still gives you something to look forward to.
The Retirement Reset is a practical, thought-provoking guide to creating a retirement that works financially, physically, emotionally and personally.
Written for men and women approaching retirement, newly retired, or already wondering whether retirement could be better, Olivia Bennett explores the questions traditional retirement planning often overlooks.
Inside, you'll discover how to:
Prepare financially for retirement and turn savings and pensions into sustainable retirement incomeAdjust from saving money to spending money without constant guilt or anxietyProtect your health, strength, mobility and independence as you ageReplace the structure, identity and social connections that disappear when work endsNavigate retirement as a couple, including when partners want very different thingsBuild new friendships and reduce the risk of loneliness and isolation in retirementIt isn't about spending every penny.
And it isn't about endlessly trying to recreate your working life.
It's about deciding what you want the next chapter to mean-and building your life around it.
Whether you're planning for retirement, recently retired, struggling to adjust to life after work, or determined to make your retirement years count, The Retirement Reset will help you stop thinking only about retiring from something-and start thinking about what you're retiring to.
You are retiring from work. You are not retiring from life.
