Born on Easter: A Lesson About Milestones, Dates & Retirement Planning
With Easter around the corner, it's the perfect time to talk about planning, milestones, and the dates that matter in our lives. In this heartwarming holiday special, Rayna Reyes welcomes a very special guest—her colleague Dr. Dr. Rhonda, a retired Navy veteran who has an unforgettable Easter birthday story that perfectly illustrates why dates matter in retirement planning too.
An Easter Birthday Story:
Dr. Rhonda was born on Easter Sunday, March 26 at 2:26 a.m.—two days later than her doctor predicted. Her godmother immediately nicknamed her "Bunny," a name that stuck throughout her Navy career (yes, even her superiors called her "Petty Officer Bunny"!) and continues to this day, 59 years later.
But here's the twist: Rhonda's father doesn't celebrate her birthday on March 26. He calls her every year on Easter Sunday—whatever day that happens to be—to wish her happy birthday. For nearly 59 years, he's celebrated based on the occasion, not the date. It's a sweet family tradition that raises an important question: when do dates matter, and when do milestones matter more?
Why This Matters for Your Retirement:
Rayna uses this touching story to illustrate a crucial point about retirement planning: dates DO matter, but we need to understand which ones and why.
