Welcome to a new week here on the Retirement Quick Tips podcast. I’m your host Ashley Micciche, co-owner of True North Retirement Advisors, an independent financial advisory practice managing $340 million in client assets. I’m a Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor, and I started this podcast because I love helping people just like you gain clarity and make a plan for the retirement you envision. 

The theme this week on the podcast is: 5 Lessons from the book: From Strength to Strength by Arthur Brooks

I stumbled upon From Strength to Strength shortly after it was released earlier this year. The book is definitely aimed at a demographic that is closer to retirement, and as I continued to read the book I kept thinking how the message of the book is so important as you approach retirement. 

The core premise of the book is that you can find deep meaning and purpose in the 2nd half of your life, but doing so requires accepting the inevitable changes that happen as we age, rather than continue to fight against these changes, which increasingly becomes a frustrating and pointless battle.

So this week, I’ll share with you 5 lessons I learned from this book. In my opinion, it should be required reading for anyone in their mid-40s to late-60s, and it really opened my eyes to the realities of aging and how we can embrace and thrive because of these changes that happen to each one of us. 

I hope what I have to share with you this week will help you make smart and thoughtful decisions with your retirement. And while I am careful to not lead you astray, personal finance is not an exact science. There is no one-size-fits-all solution for everyone, so I encourage you to disregard anything I say that may not be helpful for you, and to consult your own financial, tax, and legal advisors regarding your own individual situation.

That’s it for today. Thanks for listening! My name is Ashley Micciche...and this is the Retirement Quick Tips podcast.
