Visualize Retirement Workbook

Retirement planning is both a financial and nonfinancial process. You may have received financial resources from your employer or financial advisor. But putting money aside now for a future date may be more meaningful to you if you have a good idea of what you’re saving for. This workbook is intended to help you visualize your retirement.

Retirees defined a personal retirement vision as follows¹: 50% said, “working with my spouse/partner to define what we want in retirement”; 46 percent said, “creating a picture of what my retirement lifestyle could be”; 42 percent said, “defining how I would like to receive required health care in retirement”; and 32 percent said, “defining my purpose in retirement.”  Download the Full Workbook Here
