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.
