    About this ebook

    YOUR PLAN FOR A HEALTHY, HAPPY, AND MEANINGFUL RETIREMENT

    Retirement is not an ending: It's the beginning of an entirely new phase of life, one that requires new activities, renewed relationships, and, most important, a way to find value and worth without going to work every day. Saving tons of money does not guarantee a happy retirement - you also need to know how you want to live the rest of your life. Writing a mission statement can help you craft an action plan for spending your time and money in the most fulfilling and joyful ways possible.

    Retire with a Mission guides you through writing your mission statement and provides creative ideas and comprehensive information on:

    • Fixed finances and maintaining a certain standard of living
    • Volunteering, mentoring, and consulting opportunities
    • Using computers to stay in touch
    • Traveling
    • Enhancing family life
    • Staying healthy and happy
    • Estate planning and preparation

    With a lifetime of experience to draw from, a mission statement can be the unifier that brings together your identity, life's purpose, vision for the future, and the core values by which you plan to live the rest of your life.
