The 4 phases of retirement

In a recent article “Retirement Planning: Life Beyond the Financials”, we discussed a variety of non-financial aspects to retirement planning, and ways to prepare emotionally, socially & mentally.

Following on from this, we want to share an amazing TEDx presentation from Dr. Riley Moynes, titled The 4 phases of Retirement. After successful careers in education and then wealth management, the Canadian Dr Moyes encountered these 4 distinct phases himself, which led him to the research on which he wrote and presents.

When interviewed on his research, Dr Moyes commented, “I wish I knew then what I know now about the psychological challenges that accompany retirement. It would have made things much clearer and easier.”

While his experience and research is based on Canada & North America, it certainly rings true for us here in Australia, and is well worth a watch for anyone approaching or in retirement here.

We hope you find the presentation informative, and for any assistance in planning for your retirement please contact us here at AGS.
