Retirement often feels like the ultimate finish line—a time to relax, pursue hobbies, and travel. But for many, the reality of retirement looks very different from what they expected.

In this video, titled "Retirement Reality Check: What I Wish I Knew Before I Retired," I’ll share the five biggest lessons I’ve learned since stepping away from the 9-to-5 grind. If you’re dreaming about retirement or even just starting to plan for it, these insights could help you avoid common pitfalls and set yourself up for success.

Retirement is a journey, not a destination. By sharing what I wish I’d known, I hope to give you a clearer picture of what to expect and how to prepare. The key to a successful retirement is to plan for more than just the financial aspects—it’s about building a life that keeps you engaged, fulfilled, and happy. Don’t miss this reality check; it might just change how you think about your own retirement journey
