Thing’s You’ll Learn Along Today’s Journey
Do you have a values-based retirement plan? What are the root of your values? More than just numbers and investment funds, your financial plan should be influenced by your values.
Sean talks about the book Die with Zero by Bill Perkins which had some parts that really resonated with him when it comes to family. Are you saving money to provide for your family when you’re gone? Or should you use it to create experiences with them now? Would the money benefit your family at an earlier age instead of after you’re gone?
When it comes to your retirement plan, do your moral beliefs play a part? For instance, some clients choose not to support particular industries that include alcohol or tobacco or cannabis. How does your plan need to adjust to account for that? Or, if you want to give more in charitable contributions, does your plan support that?
Are you attached to your career? If your work is a big part of your life, you can make a plan to work longer in your retirement. But ultimately, it’s good to have the control to make the decision on when you want to retire and what kind of work you want to do.
If your legacy plan includes making a significant contribution to your family’s continuing education, how does that impact your retirement plan? What kind of opportunity do you want for your children and grandchildren?
Finally, if you are feeling the itch to travel or have fun, acknowledge it as one of your values. Knowing your long-term plan and goals will give you the confidence to do some of the things you want to do now.

Looking Back From The Mountaintop
“What do I want my money to accomplish? What experiences do I want to have when it comes to the money I’ve accumulated? Look at it as a way you can provide for your family and create this evolution of wealth.“
