Normally, though I don’t keep regular hours, it’s a pretty safe bet my work hours add up easily to over 40 weekly. The Boss might say I work that long in a day every now and then. ‘Course I don’t call most of it work. Boss lady thinks an intervention would help at times, but she exaggerates. 
I plead guilty to treating first and second time meetings as fixes. Figuring out where folks are now, analyzing the various factors in their ‘story’, then constructing a specific Purposeful Plan, never gets old for me. The process is time consuming cuz being in a hurry doesn’t work. It’s amazing what you learn the second time you speak with a new client.
I’m noticing what seems like a paradigm shift in thinking when it comes to retirement. This isn’t an original thought, but it’s becoming part of my conversations with clients more and more.
Folks are actively anticipating a second life, not hanging around wondering what to do between cruises. They want to do what they couldn’t the first time around. Some want to dive into a specific cause they’ve supported. Many want a new career — but on their terms. Whatever it is, it sure isn’t their parents’ or grandparents’ retirement.
An extra comma is what most investors are looking for. After all, two commas are a thousand times better than just one, right?
A net worth with membership in the 2-Comma club is often the #1 catalyst allowing these dreams to morph into reality. A magnificently abundant monthly retirement income has earned its stellar reputation.
What does your second life look like?

Jeff, my retirement ideal looks more and more like simplicity. John and I want a large passive income check direct deposited into our account each month. We just want to do NOTHING for a while and see what emerges from the Void of inactivity.
I want to experience waking up in the morning with no financial or health worries and have NOTHING to do..no projects I HAVE to do on the burner. I want a home that does not need yard work, no tenants moving out to worry about, no decks to be painted, etc. A day of simple, mindful attention to my health, cooking a good dinner, polishing the house after a housekeeper has done the big jobs. Just the normal job of living.
Time for a walk, meditation, pursueing knowledge, phone calls to loved ones and of course, lots of travel with nothing stopping us from getting up in the morning and taking off on a spontaneous jauntlet.
In time, I believe that a “second career” or “cause” may grab me, but for me the first part of retirement is just simplicity and lots of time to think, to explore.
Let’s sit down at our satellite office and Plan to make it reality.
I know there are literally dozens of organizations and associations who would fall all over themselves to have you.
I like your travel with jauntlets better though.
