The long-standing divide between the hard side (money) and soft-side (feelings) in financial services has been bridged thanks to the Science Side. Read Chapter 5: The Science Side, from my new #1 bestseller, Retirement Intelligence @FAMagazine https://t.co/kA6AfEccMU

So often people think the act of retirement will change them, but Behavioral Economics teaches us that we have default behaviors and biases. So, we do what we know and like. So, retirement doesn't change you, it magnifies who you already are! https://t.co/P5RRSgqF7D

You may have a lot of money saved for retirement, but will that money be able to save you? Flip the script and develop a plan for you rather than just your money because the fear of running out of money pales in comparison to running out of family, friends, good health, or time.

Biggest trend coming to financial services are 2 questions: 1) Does your advisor talk about more than money? 2) Do they have any verified training to back it up? Because if they don’t, you are being set up for a botch prison escape. https://t.co/Ytqm9U5ndS https://t.co/XxvrQUJYH8

Ever been to your kids or grandkids elementary school and seen the lost and found table? It’s littered with good stuff that doesn’t have a place. It's a moving metaphor for how people can feel if they don’t find a new tribe in retirement. https://t.co/gRcWNjeqiK #Retirement

Retirement Awareness. Alcohol is the most used drug among older adults with about 65% of people 65+ reporting high-risk drinking. Isolation stats are scary too. 25% of all seniors aged 60+ report feeling isolated and lonely https://t.co/3Lo9LMtGYb #Retirement #RetirementCoaching

The new reality for both Financial Advisors and Human Resource professionals is here. Rich Eisenberg captured it perfectly in his latest column: What Will Retirement Really Be Like? Most People Have No Idea What's Coming! https://t.co/de5h7Rbx1j #Retirement #RetirementCoaching

There's a disconnect between what preretirees expect and the reality.

2 of the biggest reasons why people fail at retirement. 1) They do it alone. 2) No plan to replace the things they are losing at work. But it doesn’t have to be that way! Join me with @MEA staff & experts for a 5-day, Reframing Retirement course.

You've likely seen this happen yourself: Ageism in the Self-checkout Lane is my latest article at Next Avenue. It's time to raise awareness about how technology frustrations and lack of human interaction can be detrimental to older adults. https://t.co/j6lQBArutu #ageism

Yes ancient philosophers had retirement figured out - Had a ton of fun on Hartford's Human Centric Podcast talking about Retirement Wisdom from Plato. John Diel and Julie Genjac were fabulous hosts - https://t.co/YtMJjVR0N2 #Retirement #hartfordfunds #robertlaura
