Scheduled for release in April 2024, David's inaugural book, "The Time Optimized Life," is a paradigm shift away from reactive time management toward a proactive approach that fosters purpose, enjoyment, and excitement during retirement.
 
 Key discussion points we covered during this episode include:

 ·         This topic is crucial since almost 1/3 of our life is spent in retirement.

·         We discuss how your purpose in retirement is tied to lifestyle goals, which are then connected to strategies.

·         We discussed why and how couples must discuss and plan for retirement.

·         Financial advisors need to be a part of your planning – you may say in your strategies you are going to travel the world, but you only have the wealth needed to get to Pittsburgh.

·         For those who say, "I am never going to retire," that is fine, but at some point, your body and mind will not be able to keep that statement going, and you will need a Plan B.

·         The mid-50s is a good time to start planning and taking inventory of your next chapter of life.

·         Only about 40% of people have a robust retirement plan; we discussed how you can be in this group.
