Episode notes
Start By Imagining Your Retirement Life
- Ask yourself what you want your years before and after retirement to look like and describe them vividly with a partner or friend.
- Use that picture to guide financial and lifestyle choices so money doesn't become the only decision-maker.
Retirement As Three Phases
- Treat retirement as a multi-phase transition: setup, lifestyling and part-timing, not a single stop.
- Phasing lets you ease out of work, protect finances, and practise new purposeful activities before fully retiring.
Map Your Full Financial Picture First
- Build your big financial picture: list current income, expenses, assets and liabilities before seeking advice.
- Identify if your house is too big or your super is too small to know which actions to prioritise.
