It will last decades, and five years before you retire is when you should start thinking about what you actually want that life to look like. Most people focus on what they’re retiring FROM, but the better question is what are you retiring TO? When you start thinking about your ideal lifestyle, your community, your home, how you spend your time, and whether work still plays a role, you may realize something important. You don’t have to wait. You can start living that life now.Episode ReferencesMMS #6.
