Lifestyle Planning Issues in Retirement

Life is about relationships.
Who is important in your life now? Spouse? Children? Other Relatives? Co-workers? Friends? Who will be important in Retirement? Will there be new relationships? How will you deal with the changes?

Life is about satisfying our human needs for food, clothing and shelter.
How will these needs be satisfied? What are the changes to be considered? Will you be eating more meals in or going out to eat more? Can you put your business attire in moth-balls? Will you down-size your residence?

Life is about satisfying our emotional needs.
How will these needs be satisfied? Our needs for love, self-worth, belonging and autonomy will continue - the ways for satisfying them need to be talked about.

Retirement....when unfamiliar endings bring new beginnings.
