Creating Life Options

“I do not want to retire because when I do I knowthat I will be expected to look after my grandchildren”“My wife has so many jobs for me that I could spendall my retirement doing that and not enjoying any ofmy own interests”“How will I cope with the boredom?”“What will I do with the time?”“People will not value me asthey have done when I wasworking”“I do not want to think about getting older and losingfriends and family”“I have always focused on my career and have notthought about how I can have a sense of purposeoutside of work”

Like any milestone in our lives, planning generallymeans that we will be more successful and achieveour goals.People usually focus on their retirementsavings and income with no real plan for how theyintend to manage their life, time and relationships.Fear and subsequent avoidance results in failureto plan.
