Flipping a Switch for Happiness and Financial Security in Later Life

Presenter: Dr. Barbara O'Neill, CFCS, CPFFE

About the Session

This session will discuss twenty transitions (e.g., saving money to spending savings) that people make after they leave a full-time career. A good analogy for these transitions is "flipping a switch" because many changes happen suddenly. Another good analogy is a "dimmer switch" for changes that happen over time (e.g., gradually reducing work hours). This webinar will feature several interactive questions to discuss each "switch."  Research on financial and life transitions that occur in later life will be shared.  

 Objectives:

After the webinar, attendees will be able to:

  • Discuss common personal and financial transitions in later life.
  • Discover subject matter related to later life transitions (e.g., IRS RMD rules).
  • Explore available resources related to later life decision-making.
  • Apply the information in personal and/or professional settings.
