We were travelling with four others, all well into retirement. One of them couldn't manage some of the treks. Not a lack of spirit. Just the physical demands in that heat.

It was a quiet moment. And a useful reminder. The adventurous trips belong in the earlier years. Not at some vague point in the future.

What trip is on your list that keeps getting pushed back?

I send a fortnightly note to people in their 50s who are starting to think seriously about what comes next.

Not financial jargon. Not a sales pitch. Just clear thinking on the decisions that matter most at this stage of life. Retirement timing, financial confidence, and what you actually want the next chapter to look like.

One in eight people would rather go to the dentist than spend an hour planning their retirement 😬🦷

I get it. Pension pots, annuities, financial jargon - it's overwhelming and frankly, a bit boring.

But here's what really concerns me: we've reduced retirement planning to spreadsheets and numbers, when it should be so much more.

What will you actually DO with those 168 hours every week for the next 30+ years?
How will you find purpose when your career ends? Who will you spend time with? What will give you a reason to get up in the morning?

The truth is, we spend more time planning a two-week holiday than we do planning our entire retirement.

In my latest blog, I explore why retirement planning needs to go beyond the finances - and why designing your ideal life FIRST, then making the numbers work, leads to a far more fulfilling retirement.
