While the first law of retirement is saving enough to get there, the second is building the structure to make it truly fulfilling. Time, money, and energy—your most valuable resources in retirement—are all vulnerable to drifting without a plan in place. So, consider this:

📌 Routine Isn’t Boring—It’s Freeing: It gives purpose to your days, structure to your time, and meaning to your energy

📌 Money Needs Direction, Not Just Protection: Overspending can cause regret, but being overly cautious can rob you of joy. Striking the right financial balance means embracing flexibility and preparing for both sunny days and storms ahead.

📌 Your Energy is Sacred: Retirement without purpose can lead to a slow decline in vitality and joy. Staying connected—socially, mentally, and physically—is the heartbeat of a fulfilling second act.

Key Takeaway: Your time and energy deserve the same attention and intention as your finances—because a retirement well-lived isn’t left to chance; it’s designed with meaning.
