Episode 38: Retirement Planning Beyond the Wealth Aspect

Christopher Tan

“If you are a retiree listening to this, you are effectively in the final phase of your life. Time is short and by being clear of your life’s purpose, you will be able to focus your time on activities that matter most to you.”

In this episode, I encourage all of us to first make a life decision and let our wealth decisions follow it. By doing so (and not the opposite!), our life, whether in retirement or not, will finish well.

Sounds vague? I will share some practical tips on how you can discover your life’s purpose here.

Important note: Retirement planning must be purpose-driven, it is much more than planning only the wealth aspect.
