Episode 94 - What to Do When Things REALLY Don't Go as Planned

On today’s episode, we venture into a topic that all of us know one way or another, adversity. Throughout our lives, we spend countless hours planning for monumental life goals. We take time planning to carefully map out how we want our lives to play out. But, what happens when the things we strive towards for years, don’t happen at all? This emotional rollercoaster can be especially amplified when it comes to retirement. We spend decades planning our retirement and accumulating expectations, but then life throws us a curveball. Maybe we don’t have the money to carry out our plans, maybe we can’t live where we want, or maybe our health or the health of our family members declines. On today’s episode, we’re going to talk about what to do when things REALLY don’t go as planned.
