The 4 Emotional Phases of Retirement with Fritz Gilbert

[upbeat music] Today, I'm joined by my friend Fritz Gilbert, the founder of the Retirement Manifesto, an award-winning blog dedicated to helping people achieve a great retirement.

You have probably heard Fritz on the show before, and today is going to be a treat.

We're gonna be discussing the four emotional phases of retirement.

Most people imagine retirement as a finish line.

The day the alarm clock goes away, the calendar opens up, and every day just feels like Saturday.

But what happens when every day really is Saturday and it stops feeling special? Well, Fritz is going to talk to us about those four emotional phases of retirement, why the honeymoon phase eventually ends, and how to avoid getting stuck in what some retirees describe as the lost years.

If you're new to the show, I want you to know what to expect.

My mission here is to deliver clarity and purpose and elevate meaning in your life.

And if you're not sure what that means, well, stick around.

We bring you both financial and non-financially related conversations week in and week out.

If you're looking for those more financially oriented conversations, look for those episodes titled By the Numbers.

If you're looking for those non-financial topics, then look for those titled Freedom After 50, and that's what you've joined us for here today.
