3 Reasons To Consult a Retirement Coach

1) Retirement Wellness Goes Far Beyond Financial Wellness

Based on positive psychology, the PERMA model tells us that true happiness and well-being come from Positive emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishments.

This means that financial security, although important, is not sufficient to achieve retirement wellness.

You also need to consider several non-financial aspects like filling your time with meaningful activities, remaining mentally and physically active, building a new identity, and exploring your spiritual side.

Remember, despite having enough money to do whatever you want, it’s still possible to feel underwhelmed if you don’t plan beyond your finances.

2) Outside of the Expertise of Your Financial Advisor

Financial advisors. Read that again.

The name itself includes financial, implying that financial advisors primarily specialize in helping you with your finances (investments, tax strategy, etc.).

Although they might know a thing or two about retirement coaching and psychological well-being, they are likely not the “experts” in that field.

This is one of the main reasons why you should consult a professional retirement coach, who can guide you through the emotional side of retirement.

Find a retirement coach at the Retirement Coaches Association.

You can also get certified yourself to become a retirement coach if you are interested in helping fellow retirees guide through retirement!

3) Money Comes Second: The Non-financial Aspects Drive Your Financial Decisions

Robert Laura suggests checking off the non-financial boxes in retirement first — and a retirement coach will help you do exactly that.

Once you know what you want your ideal retirement to look like, then you can plan your finances accordingly.

In other words, factors like your mental health, your relationships with friends and family, and your spiritual beliefs might drive your key financial decisions.
