RETIREMENT ISN’T JUST ABOUT THE MONEY
In this kickoff to our new series, Mike and Harlan introduce what’s ahead on Doors to Dollars: authentic, weekly conversations with individuals and couples approaching or living in retirement. These aren’t just financial planning chats—they’re real stories of navigating life transitions, chasing dreams, and embracing unexpected challenges.
1. Preparing for the Unexpected
Many people head into retirement with plans, but few anticipate the emotional and relational shifts. Some discover that one spouse is ready to slow down while the other isn’t. Others find surprises in how their identity and routines change once the workweek ends.
2. Dreaming and Doing
We’ll hear from those checking off bucket list items—traveling the world, volunteering, even helping aging parents fulfill their own dreams. These episodes will show how retirement can be a launchpad for purpose, not just a wind-down.
3. Real Stories, Real Lessons
This isn’t theory. Each week features real people sharing wisdom and laughter, challenges and victories. Whether you’re years away from retirement or living it now, these conversations will help you think differently—and more hopefully—about what comes next.
