38 - Retirement is all about the money right? Wrong!

Retirement planning is often dominated by one question: Will I have enough money? But what happens once the finances are in place? In this episode of The Retirement Lounge, Nick is joined by Clare Lyons-Collins from We-Pivot, an occupational therapist specialising in retirement and major life transitions. Together, they explore why retirement is about far more than pensions, investments and income. It is a significant life transition that can affect your routine, identity, relationships, health and sense of purpose. Nick and Clare discuss why some people can be financially prepared for retirement and still struggle once they get there, and why it is so important to think about what you are retiring to, rather than only what you are retiring from. If you are approaching retirement and have spent most of your time thinking about the financial side, this episode may encourage you to look at the bigger picture.
