People retiring and I have an experience in common. Not something you'd expect to hear from me! ⬇️ Dan Haylett spoke at a recent event I attended. He pressed the issue of identity Many who are retiring hold down roles of responsibility, fancy titles and made to feel important in their job. At dinner parties it's easy to answer when asked "so, what do you do?". Once retired, it becomes a difficult question to answer and some may feel a bit lost. Having changed career, I totally resonate. When I left my previous career, I could no longer state with pride what I did. It took me a long while to rebuild my identity. So, if you are working towards retirement or indeed a fellow adviser/planner. Bear in mind your client may go through a challenging identity phase.

5 tips to retire 5 years early Planning, perseverance, and patience can help.

Active Duty friends, do you know what you want to do when you "grow up"? I highly recommend that you figure out what your dream job is NOW. Do not wait until 6 months before separation/retirement to figure this out. Once you know what that desired goal is, you can start making progress towards making that goal more realistic for whenever you finally stop wearing the cloth of our nation's military. While many of us have a rough plan on when we think the separation/retirement date will be, things change. The more ready you are for your dream job, the easier it will be to get into that job once you do leave the military. I started thinking about my transition plan back in 2018 and have been slowly (but surely) stepping toward retirement-ready since then, watching current job posts and trends in the job field I want to be a part of. This has helped me to ensure that the big actions I am taking work well for my future, both in the Navy and outside of it. I am now not thinking "retirement... what a scary thought with all of the accompanying changes," but am rather thinking "there are so many great opportunities and I am excited to see where and how I will fit in best." Post-military career, here I come. I am ready and excited to get started!
