A successful retirement requires enough money to support the life you want, but money alone cannot guarantee that you will enjoy it.
After working with retirees and observing the choices made by some of his happiest clients, Josh Null has identified five practical lessons that extend beyond the usual advice about exercising, finding hobbies, and staying busy. Some involve financial planning, while others challenge the way we spend our time, respond to fear, and engage with the world around us.
In this solo episode of Coasting in Retirement, Josh discusses the importance of assembling a trusted financial team and making investment decisions based on a long-term strategy rather than fear or the temptation to follow the crowd. He also considers what it means to preserve a sense of purpose, remain connected to younger generations, and protect your attention from influences that may create more anxiety than understanding.
What habits could prevent you from enjoying the retirement you worked so hard to reach?
Listen to the full episode to discover Josh’s five secrets to a happier retirement, plus four financial books he believes are worth reading, and one he would leave on the shelf.
