Gradual Retirement: A Smooth Transition to the Golden Years
Traditional retirement is often about reaching a certain age, hitting a wealth milestone, and switching from a busy work life to idle days. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Instead of waiting that long and facing an abrupt lifestyle change, a gradual transition into retirement over a few years can be more rewarding and fulfilling. If you’ve been saving and investing diligently, you might already be well-positioned to do it sooner than you think. Curious? Instructor Sanjib Saha will go over the benefits of gradual retirement, how to go about it, and how to mitigate any surprises along the way.
