I am retired – What now?

For most people, the transition into retirement comes along with various changes. We lose our salary income, connecting with colleagues, work identity and often our health may deteriorate. On the other side, we may have more freedom and time to spend with loved ones, on hobbies and even volunteering. It is no wonder retirement ranks 10th out of lives 43 most stressful events.

This stressful time may have a negative effect on our mood and health (often described as the dark side of retirement). Wrong financial decisions may also affect our ability to take care of ourselves financially. Few people were educated on how to address this new phase after retirement, which can easily be for a couple of decades.

To assist you in better managing this prime time of your life, Jenwil BlueStar has set up a workshop for you to evaluate the course your retirement is taking. The programme is as follows:

Session1 – No-Regrets Retirement. Presented by a certified financial planner and South Africa’s first Certified Professional Retirement Coach, this session will assist you in dealing with non-financial issues during retirement. We will also share some practical tips on managing your financing and leaving a legacy.

Session2 – Financial: A panel discussion by Glacier, Amplify, and 36One: Should I tone down on risky assets?

Session 3 – Meaning full retirement, presented by Dr Jeannine van den Berg (Psychiatrist).
