The unfortunate reality is it is extremely unlikely that you retire as planned. The statistics are

that 20 to 30% of workers are forced to retire due to corporate decisions. 40% to 60% succumb to

unplanned retirement due to health-related challenges. And 35 to 40% of all retirees regret how

they retired or felt ill-prepared for retirement.

Today, we'll ensure you don't become just another statistic.

Hey, this is Casey Weed and welcome to the pod where it is my mission to deliver clarity

and purpose and elevate meaning in your life. And if you're new to the show, I want you to

know what to expect. This is not your typical retirement podcast. We're going to be covering

both the non-financial and financial aspects of retirement. Today, we're going to lean into the non-financial

sharing with you an article that shows up in our weekend reading for retirees email that goes

out every single Friday. You have to get signed up to receive this email because not only

you're going to receive this article, but we'll receive the other three articles along with

summaries, takeaways from myself,

all designed to keep you up to speed on the latest in retirement planning so that you can make

better decisions for this phase of your life.

In addition to receiving that once a week email, you'll also receive other gems in that

email from white paper giveaways to book giveaways,

quizzes, assessments, and more.

Get yourself signed up to receive that article by simply texting the code, WR to 888-59499,

or you can just check out a link in the show notes or visit us at

Howard Bailey.com. Today, I am joined by our very own certified retirement coach and

chief purpose officer here at Howard Bailey Financial, Les McDaniel.
