182: Longevity Lifestyle by Design

Creating Your Encore Career

Just like you designed what your career looked like, you also have the ability to plan what your retirement looks like. With some vision and planning, you can have the retirement that most fulfills you.

The decision to retire will impact the next 20-30 years of your life. While you may decide that a life of leisure is exactly what you want your retirement to look like, many retirees look forward to a new retirement--a retirement where they choose when and how much to work, possibly in an entirely different field than their previous career.

In this episode, Lynn reviews Mike Drak’s book, Longevity Lifestyle by Design, and why this is a must-read if you’re considering retirement in the near future. He covers the concepts in the book, why the retirement dip can be a period of confusion, and the six principles of a long and happy retirement.

If retirement is on your horizon and you’re beginning to explore your options--whether it’s a leisurely retirement or embarking on a whole new career--this episode is for you.
