THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN
Climbing your mountain is exhilarating and challenging. Each step
along the way is filled with new opportunities and countless
possibilities. When you reach the summit, the view is incredible.
At some point, you will have
to descend. The choices you
make on the way down the
other side of the mountain
will determine how well you
will survive the journey.
What does this have to do with retirement?
Your life journey is like mountaineering. Think of it this way –
accumulating assets can be likened to climbing a mountain. It
has its difficulties, starts and stops, a few detours here and
there, but in the end, you will reach a point when you will
have to walk down the other side of the mountain. The
purpose of this brief treatise is to help you manage this
journey and to thrive, not just survive your retirement.
