For many successful individuals, approaching retirement represents a significant milestone in life’s journey.
Many other major decisions in life are determined by forces outside an individual’s control, such as where to buy a house after a job change, or what choices to make in mid-career. When to retire from full-time work and start receiving income from self-generated sources is usually self-determined. Uniquely successful individuals become aware that a host of questions require answers including: when to take Social Security, how much income to take from their portfolio, what kind of budget should be followed, and other issues related to managing the later states of life.
At the same time, people discover that retirement creates opportunity for personal growth, to pursue the experiences that were postponed for years by career and family responsibilities, “rewirement” instead of retirement.
