Episode 79 - 6 Questions To Ask Before Retirement | Planning A Better Next Chapter

Most people spend years planning how to retire financially, but far less time thinking about what they are actually retiring to. In this episode of What Happens Next, host Chris Daems shares six powerful questions to ask before retirement that go beyond pensions, spreadsheets, and retirement age. Chris explores why identity, purpose, relationships, wellbeing, and daily structure matter just as much as financial independence. From asking "Who am I when I'm not working?" to understanding what a good week really looks like, this video helps you think more deeply about retirement planning and the next chapter of life. You'll also learn why knowing your number is not just about having enough money, but understanding what the life you want to live will actually cost. Chris also highlights the importance of talking with your partner, staying socially connected, and creating a meaningful life after work. If you're in your 50s or 60s and thinking about retirement, semi-retirement, or life after work, this conversation will help you prepare with more clarity and confidence.
