Imagine This: You have the perfect retirement plan, a vision of where you’ll live, how you’ll spend your time, and what financial milestones you’ll hit. But then, life throws you a curveball. Maybe it’s a surprise grandchild, an unexpected health challenge, or a shift in the economy. What do you do? This article poses two simple, yet powerful, questions: 1) What has changed in your life? 2) What has changed with your money?

Put Your Answers into Action: These questions led one family to completely rewrite their future after a life-altering surprise—proving that flexibility isn’t failure; it’s freedom. Many retirees spend years chasing a number or clinging to a plan that no longer serves them. But what if you could retire sooner? What if you could finally take that leap into a new adventure?

Key Takeaways: Take a moment and ask yourself these two questions. Then, give yourself permission to pivot—because your best retirement plan is the one that evolves with you.
