Give the week anchors
Two or three fixed points change how an empty calendar feels.
The plan nobody makes
People spend years planning the money and about an afternoon planning the days.
How we work
Anchors, people, purpose
The first months of retirement usually go well. It's around month four that the structure of forty years is genuinely gone, the calls from colleagues have stopped, and the week has no shape unless you give it one.
Three things carry people through: anchors that fix certain days, deliberate effort on friendships now that work isn't supplying them, and one or two things that feel worth doing. None of that arrives on its own.
We stay firmly out of money. Financial questions go to a licensed adviser — we're the other half of the conversation, and keeping that line clear is part of doing this properly.
Our principles
Three beliefs behind the method
Friendships need organizing
Work supplied people for decades. Now it's a deliberate act.
No financial advice, ever
Not investments, not pensions, not benefits. That's an adviser's job.
