HAPPINESS IN RETIREMENT™

“All you need is the plan, the road map, and the courage to press on to your destination”

- Earl Nightingale

Our clients make up a community of fascinating people with work-optional lifestyles.

Fellow Happiness in Retirement Program members come from a variety of backgrounds, and they understand the retirement journey. If you desire, and only with your consent, you can draw from this collective experience and gain support, knowledge, and inspiration. While our team provides content, direction, and thinking, program members can become lifelong friends and resources.

What does a typical planning session look like?

  • We begin by scheduling the process meetings in advance, making sure to keep our momentum.

  • We will provide you with the agenda and any necessary worksheets in advance, so you know what to expect and we can make the best use of your time.

  • Each session lasts 1.5 to 2 hours to ensure we cover everything that matters most to you.

  • You will have the undivided attention of a planner and a paraplanner throughout the process. They are there to facilitate the process and help in any way needed.

  • The end result is our plan recommendation summary with all the action steps necessary for your retirement success
