Retirement – it may be in your near future or perhaps further out on the horizon. In either case, images come to mind as to what your retirement will look like. What does it mean to you? One definition is your ability to do what you want instead of what other people tell you to do. That may include travel, leaving the “rat race,” babysitting grandchildren, or any number of other desired activities. It also can create emotional responses such as anticipation and excitement.

Join me for a discussion on the biggest retirement fear and suggestions on how to confront and manage that fear so that your vision of retirement isn’t only a dream.
