What Would a Random Tuesday Look Like for You in Retirement?
Not the big trip. Not the bucket list. Just an ordinary Tuesday, the way you’d want to spend it.
A quick word for couples before you start.
Most couples assume I want you to fill this out together. I want the opposite, and here’s why.
Each of you should fill out your own pass, on your own, without peeking at the other one. Not because anyone’s hiding anything. Because the quieter spouse deserves to picture the Tuesday they actually want before the louder voice is in the room.
Please don’t compare answers yet. When couples see for the first time that they picture retirement differently, it can feel like “you don’t want to spend time with me.” Usually it’s the opposite. The things you don’t share can end up making your retirement better. Bring both to your call with us, and we’ll walk you through it together.
Five small questions. No money. No numbers. Just the life.
One ordinary day in retirement. You wake up with nowhere you have to be. What does the day look like, start to finish?
When you’re 80, what do you still want to be able to get up and do? The thing you’d hate to have lost. And if you couldn’t drive anymore, how would you get there?
One trip or experience you’d hate to reach the end without doing. The one that keeps coming back to you.
Who’s in the retirement you picture? And what’s the moment with them you want more of?
The passion that belongs only to you. Golf, quilting, woodworking, whatever it is. No guilt about it.
Here’s the Retirement You Just Described
Read it back. This might be the first time you’ve seen the whole picture in one place.
Now, the part no worksheet can do.
You can picture the life now. Good.
Here’s the part no worksheet can do.
What does that life cost every month? And will your savings cover it for the next thirty years without you watching the balance like a hawk?
That’s the number Wall Street keeps asking you for. The one nobody ever shows you how to find.
Some of it we already priced. Here is what your retirement hobbies actually cost, at home and on the road.
And if the Tuesday you pictured had a boat in it, here is what a boat actually costs in retirement, priced in all five states we serve.
All of it together, priced piece by piece, is here: what the retirement you want actually costs.
That’s the conversation. First the life. Then the money.
The Retirement Tuesday Session is a face-to-face virtual meeting. We sit down together on video, you see me and I see you, and we go through it like we’re across the same table. Forty-five minutes to an hour.
Not ready to book? That’s fine.
Let me show you what these things actually cost. Real ranges for real retirement experiences, the stuff most people are afraid to look at. No pressure, no math about your money. Just the costs, sent to your inbox.
You’re in. Check your inbox in the next few minutes.

About Kurt H. Jackson
Experience: Since founding KJ Financial in 2010, Kurt H. Jackson has worked with retirees and pre-retirees across Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, and Florida who discovered that the retirement plan they had built around a fixed withdrawal rule was far more fragile than they realized. He has worked directly with clients coming out of the 2008 crash, and with clients who retired into the 2020 COVID drop and the inflation spike of 2021 to 2023, and he has seen firsthand what sequence of returns risk does to a withdrawal-only strategy versus a Lifestyle-First plan with a guaranteed income floor. Before founding KJ Financial, he spent 20 years as a Certified Mortgage Planner working with more than 1,000 clients on major financial commitments, giving him deep insight into how financial decisions compound over time.
Expertise: Kurt is a Retirement Lifestyle Architect and the creator of the Lifestyle-First Retirement Income Planning framework. He builds guaranteed lifetime income, which he calls Protected Lifetime Income (PLI), under both his clients’ essentials and their non-negotiables, the adventures, the experiences and the memories with those they care about. With that income floor in place, the rest of their money no longer has to pay the bills, which means it doesn’t have to be sold in a down market. He is Life and Health Insurance Licensed in MO, NE, KS, IA, and FL. His practice focuses exclusively on insurance-based, tax-optimized retirement income strategies. He does not manage investments or sell securities.
Authoritativeness: Kurt founded KJ Financial and operates MaxMyRetirementIncome.com as a dedicated educational resource for retirees. His work is grounded in peer-reviewed and independently published research, cited directly on each page. He applies that research to the practical income planning decisions retirees face every day in the states he serves.
