GEN X RETIREMENT

Retirement is starting to feel real.

Not tomorrow. But close enough that the decisions we're making now matter. Let's figure out when we can retire, what it might cost and what we actually want life to look like when we get there.

THE BIG DECISIONS

There's more to figure out than a number.

WHEN

When can I retire?

Savings, income, Social Security and figuring out when work becomes optional.

HEALTHCARE

What happens before Medicare?

One of the biggest questions standing between many Gen Xers and an earlier retirement.

WHERE

Where should I live?

Stay put, downsize, relocate or finally live somewhere you've always wanted to try.

WHAT NEXT

What am I retiring to?

Because leaving work is only half the question. We still need something interesting to wake up for.

A DIFFERENT KIND OF RETIREMENT

Gen X may not retire the way our parents did. Some of us will stop working completely. Some will consult, create, travel, start businesses or work because we still want to.

The goal isn't necessarily to stop doing things. It's to have more choice over what we do next.
