Are you ready for the new retirement? The old-fashioned "full-stop" retirement simply doesn't work for everyone. For many people, to retire happy, it includes some form of work - on your own terms. In a hybrid retirement, work - paid or unpaid - can provide meaning, connection, purpose, fulfillment - and some income. There are more options available today to create a hybrid retirement that works for you. But that may mean changing lanes. You'll need to plan ahead and lay the groundwork. Justin Smith, CFP., CAP, CFA of Savant Wealth Management, offers his tips and a tool to help you think outside the box and navigate career crossroads.

Justin joins us from Phoenix, Arizona.

Instead, start planning for the non-financial side of retirement now. Delaying when to retire doesn't mean delaying your preparation.

On Hybrid Retirement 

"I think this is becoming more and more of a movement. Nobody announced it, but it's becoming more and more popular. 20 years ago there was really one path where it was somebody in the C-suite and then they would go serve on a board and they went from working 80 hours a week to working 20 hours a week. They'd still fly around and go to board meetings and things like that. But now that has been democratized and there's countless different ways that people can take a hybrid path. And the big change I'm seeing is that a more people have access to these hybrid paths. Basically anybody who puts in the work can find something that checks all the boxes for them.
