Beyond The Numbers – Transitioning Into Retirement with Dr. Jacquelyn B. James (Ep. 28)

Have you ever wondered what it truly takes to be happy and fulfilled in retirement beyond just having a solid financial plan?

Retirement isn’t just about financial stability – it’s about designing a life that’s fulfilling and joyful.

In this episode, Jim Kruzan, CFP®, CRPC®, sits down with Dr. Jacquelyn B. James, the Founding Director of the Sloan Research Network on Aging & Work to explore the emotional, social, and psychological aspects of retirement that are just as crucial as the financial aspect. 

Tune in as Jackie talks about the importance of emotional and social preparations and the long-lasting impact these factors can have on your overall retirement satisfaction!

Talking points include: 

  • How retirement is more than a one-time financial event; it’s a gradual and complex transition
  • Why it’s important to prepare psychologically for retirement (just as much as it is to prepare financially!)
  • How the emotional and social aspects of retirement require as much planning as the financial aspects
  • The “honeymoon phase” of retirement and how to sustain fulfillment once it fades
  • Maintaining a sense of purpose and finding meaningful activities post-retirement
  • Managing increased time with a spouse and staying connected to support networks
  • And more!
