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: Habits That Lead to Happiness In Retirement 

I got this idea for this week’s theme from an article I read in The Atlantic that was published in February of this year called “The Seven Habits That Lead to Happiness in Old Age”. If you want to read the full article, I’ll link to it in the show notes:

You might recognize the author’s name, Arthur Brooks. Back in early June, I devoted a whole week to his excellent book, From Strength to Strength, and it was pure coincidence that I stumbled upon this article in the Atlantic. I actually flagged this article as an idea for the podcast, and then when I revisited it later, I realized that it was the same author of the book I reviewed and discussed in June. 

So this week, I’m sharing with you the 7 most important habits that according to research and to Brooks, you can begin to cultivate now that will lead to the highest satisfaction well into your 60s, 70s, and 80s. Think of it as your own Happiness 401k. The sooner you start investing in your happiness 401k, the more you’ll be able to reap the benefits as you age.

That’s it for today. Thanks for listening! Come on back tomorrow where I’m talking about 2 bad health habits that you’ll want to kick right away. 

My name is Ashley Micciche...and this is the Retirement Quick Tips podcast.
