Prior to retiring you had a vision of how you would like your retirement to look. Most likely, you thought about where you would be, who you would be with and what you would be doing. In some cases, it all works out exactly as envisioned, but in many cases reality turns out to be quite different. Sadly, many find life gets in the way of the best laid plans, be it unforeseen illness or full days of the mundane. Retirement Rehab explores the various areas of our lives that impact retirement, including Living a Balanced Life, Four Retirement Myths, Retirement Income, Healthcare, and Estate Planning. Each area is equally important and all work together to create the retirement we deserve. If your retirement is not as you envisioned, Retirement Rehab can help set you on the right course. Retirement Rehab can help make your vision of retirement a reality. Instructor: Amy Lawson. 4 hours. $20. 104187 104188 104189 104190
