Jill on Money Radio Show: Recently Retired With Questions

Happy November!

We start the new month off talking retirement planning with a couple trying to navigate the new world of no longer having to work! With it comes many questions, and maybe some expenses you no longer need.

Our second chat of the hour was also from a caller who recently retired. The main question was in regards to moving around old funds from the former employer.

Achievement often comes at a cost. Angst, restlessness, frayed relationships, exhaustion, and even substance abuse can be the unwanted side effects of an obsession with outward performance. While the high of occasional wins can keep you going for a while, playing into the always-on, never enough hustle culture ultimately takes a serious toll.

In The Practice of Groundedness, author Brad Stulberg shares a healthier, more sustainable model for success.

At the heart of this model is groundedness, a practice that values presence over rote productivity, accepts that progress is nonlinear, and prioritizes long-term values and fulfillment over short-term gain. 

To be grounded is to possess a firm and unwavering foundation, a resolute sense of self from which deep and enduring, not shallow and superficial, success can be found.

Groundedness does not eliminate ambition and striving; rather, it situates these qualities and channels them in more meaningful ways.
