Still Planning Your Retirement Like It’s 1995? Here’s a Smarter Way Forward

A New Chapter, Not a Final Act

Let’s be honest — the idea of “retirement” as our parents knew it is fading fast. Today, you don’t just retire from something — you retire into something.

Maybe it’s your garden.
Maybe it’s your grandchildren.
Maybe it’s the art studio you finally have time to enjoy, or the business you’ve dreamed of starting.

You’ve spent decades building experience, wisdom, and resilience. Now’s the time to put that to use — not by clinging to outdated rules, but by creating your own version of what a rich, fulfilling life looks like.

So yes, the retirement model from 1995 may be gone. But what’s replacing it?
A world of options.
A new freedom to design your days exactly how you want.
A chance to align your wealth with your well-being.

That’s the kind of retirement worth planning for.
