RETIREMENT PLANNING HANDBOOK

Your Guide to Financial Freedom, Health, and Happiness in the Golden Years By David E. White


Retirement isn’t just about money. It’s about mindset, meaning, and maintaining your well-being.


Of course, financial planning is the foundation. And yes, the book covers the essentials of budgeting, saving, investing, and avoiding common missteps.


But as I wrote, I realized something deeper:

What good is financial freedom if you’re not emotionally and physically well enough to enjoy it?


That’s where holistic retirement planning comes in. This approach considers your whole life, including finances, health, relationships, purpose, and personal fulfillment.


3 Key Takeaways from the Book


1. Financial Freedom Starts with Clarity


You can’t reach retirement goals you haven’t defined. This book includes tools, checklists, and real-life examples to help you map out a plan that works for you.


The goal? Let your money work for you, not the other way around.


2. Retirement Is a New Beginning, Not the End


Now’s the time to rediscover your passions, reconnect with your purpose, and reclaim your time.


Retirement can be meaningful, whether through travel, mentoring, volunteering, or rest.


3. Don’t Just Plan, Review Regularly


One of my favorite strategies in the book is to use your birthday, anniversary, or other personal milestone as a reminder to review your retirement plan.


It keeps your goals aligned with your life as they evolve.


Final Thought


Retirement is more than a destination; it’s a season of opportunity.


Let’s plan for it intentionally. Let’s prepare for it thoroughly.


Let’s make it everything we hoped it could be… and more.
