Given advances in medicine and health care, all of us should be planning for a 20-30 year retirement, almost as long of a life phase as a professional career. So often all of our retirement preparation focuses on financial security with little consideration to the activities and pursuits that make this life stage truly rewarding. How do we plan in a more comprehensive manner to meet our full potential? Which possibilities and opportunities are the best fit with your individual personality and values? What habits, practices and factors are essential to long-term happiness and fulfillment?

Altair’s 2016 Spring Forum explores this topic from multiple perspectives: health, purpose, social, and financial. We explore ways to tailor retirement planning for your own unique situation and needs and determine the achievements that will give you the greatest satisfaction. Whether you are already retired or looking towards the future, this interactive forum helps you identify the retirement lifestyle you want and the short and long-term steps in meeting your goals.
