064: How Life Planning Lays the Foundation for Freedom in Retirement with George Kinder

George Kinder is the father of life planning. Through this unique methodology, he helps retirees discover their deepest and most profound goals. He helps them to pursue their aspirations, discuss and resolve obstacles, create concrete financial plans, and provides ongoing guidance as they accomplish their objectives.

George has published three books on money, including Lighting the Torch, Life Planning for You, and Seven Stages of Money Maturity, which was featured in the July 2018 Wall Street Journal article "The Financial Books That Should Be on Your Summer Reading List" almost 20 years after its publication. His work has been featured in The Financial Times, The Wall Street Journal, New Model Adviser, Forbes, Time Magazine, FP Today, The Journal of Financial Planning, Investment News, and The New York Times, and he has spoken at conferences, universities, and financial firms on five continents.

Today, he joins the podcast to talk about why life planning is all about freedom, the moments that financial advisors can feel like therapists or marriage counselors when helping their clients navigate retirement, and how his work continues as the definition of retirement itself continues to shift, especially in younger generations.
