New Retirement Mentality Website


I read an article in the newspaper today about a new way to look at retirement. It referenced a website called newretirementmentality.com . This website is advertising a new book coming out but it has an interesting activity that will help you with life planning and retirement. It asks you what your thoughts are for retirement. This is an important step to actually think about what your are going to do and not just fantasize about the future. Then it asks you how much time you spend on things currently and what your ideal breakdown would be. It then asks you some questions about your work life and scores your answers. When its all done it creates a pdf file with all your answers and encourages you to think more about your plan. I like the printout. It forced me to think a little more about what I plan for the future not just someday quitting my job.
