209. The Modern Retiree Manifesto: A Framework for Retiring in the 21st Century

This week, we're wrapping up the special series on Modern Retirement. In previous episodes, we've talked about why reframing retirement is a necessary must-do. I've shared my messy retirement journey. And we've discussed the 7 skills we need to navigate retirement in the 21st century.Today, I want to walk you through a framework that I've been working on. The Modern Retirement framework is not a rigid methodology but a loose guide that provides direction on what to consider and do while allowing for creative adaptation. It's the result of extensive research, including reading numerous articles and books, listening to relevant podcasts, and conducting interviews with individuals who have successfully navigated their retirement and those who are in the planning stages.IN THIS EPISODEWhy a framework is useful when planning for modern retirementHow a framework works, and how it's different from a methodologyThe 5 disciplines in the frameworkThe Modern Retiree ManifestoFOOTNOTESStanford Center on LongevityEp 206 What Even Is Retirement Anymore?Ep 207 My Unplanned, Messy, and Chock-full O'Lessons Retirement StoryEp 208 Beyond Financials: The Skills We Need to Navigate Retirement in the 21st Century------------Connect with Lou Blaser on LinkedInSubscribe to Midlife Cues, a weekly newsletter about intentional living and personal growth in midlife.Work with Lou BlaserSupport the Show.
