Wise Quotes

On Work as an Option

“So I think it’s really important that people get to a point where retirement’s an option and where work is an option, not an obligation. When people get to that point where they have the financial independence, I think it changes their mindset and they can look at work a lot differently. They have other options available to them. And so for us, for financial advisors, it’s really about getting to that point where you’ve got that independence where you can choose your own future.”

On Planning for Life After You Retire

“A lot of people think ‘Well, as soon as I retire, I’m going to get rid of all my responsibilities and just going to have all kinds of blank space and a blank canvas to build from.’ That’s not always a very healthy way to approach retirement. I’ll never forget, years ago, I had a client, she was an executive, a CEO of a mid-size company with a couple of hundred employees, and she had done a nice job saving. She’d come in and we’d talk about her retirement preparedness. So we’re having the same conversation again – our annual review. And I said to her ‘Stacy, let’s assume you’re retired today. Tell me what your next few weeks look like. How are you spending your time?’ She says ‘What do you mean? ‘I said ‘Well, your entire career, you’ve been coaching people, mentoring people, you’ve been involved in strategic plans, you’ve been working as teams. What are you going to do in retirement to still have some of those activities? ‘And she sent me an email two weeks after our conversation and she said: Your questions haunted me. I realize I have a lot of work to do between now and retirement.“

On The Four Pillars of a Successful Retirement

“These are the four pillars, briefly: Health and Wellness, and that’s people feeling fairly confident about their health. Second is Prosperity – it’s not about being rich, but it means being confident that you can maintain your current lifestyle going forward. The third is People. That’s having Meaningful Relationships in our life – maybe not tons of people. If you’re an introvert, maybe just one or two close friends who are really important to you. But with those people, interactions are important. And then the fourth thing is Purpose, having something in your life that is of value to you and of value to others. What are you here for? And the people that have been able to focus on those four and to spend some time in planning all each of those areas, they’re the ones that we find have the most successful retirements.”
