Your core values can help you understand what it is you truly want

What do you want? Without the typical guardrails of life, this can be an intimidating question. Up until now you probably had constraints on your life: a place you had to live, a job to structure your day, kids’ activities, and other expectations. 

In retirement, you are completely free, so you can work with a clean slate. Letting go of these constraints and building a life that focuses on your core values may take a bit of work on your part, but getting in touch with your true values is a key component to rocking retirement. Learn how to use your core values as a measuring stick so that you can build a life that is focused on living your authentic self.
