Mapping Your Retirement


What are you doing
with the rest of your life?

Retirement isn’t just a destination . . . after all, once you get there, where will you go?

  • How will you use your time?
  • How will you contribute?
  • Will you have enough money?
  • How will you maintain your health?

Mapping Your Retirementhelps you plan a retirement based on your values, interests, and resources. The guide provides information and worksheets on three critical elements of a meaningful retirement: Living Your Life, Maintaining Your Health, and Managing Your Money.

Two sessions meeting evenings from 6:30-9:30 p.m.
