My friend Ric Shields invited me to be a guest on his DoorWays Ministry podcast series to talk about the questions that really matter when it comes to retirement.
What comes to your mind when you hear the word “retirement”? The word comes from the verb retire, which means “to go to sleep”. But most of us don’t plan to spend our retirement sleeping all day.
Most people think of retirement in terms of work. The dictionary definition is “to withdraw from one’s position or occupation; to conclude one’s working or professional career.”
Whether retirement is still years away, you’re getting ready for it, or you’re already a seasoned retiree, this series has something for you. We’ll explore how to plan, prepare, and thrive in whatever season of life you’re in now.
You can access all the episodes at this link, and I will post them here on the blog and on Facebook. I hope you will share them widely.
Episode 3-Can I Afford to Retire? pt.2
From Saving for Retirement to Living It Well
You’ve worked hard, saved diligently, and planned for the future. But when retirement finally arrives, how do you turn a lifetime of saving into a lifetime of income?
In Part 2 of Can I Afford to Retire?, financial advisor Zak Dyer explores what it really takes to prepare for the next chapter. From learning how to spend the money you’ve saved to knowing when to work longer, give generously, or seek professional advice, Zak offers practical wisdom for making your retirement years count.
What if you haven’t saved enough? How can you help your children without putting your own future at risk? And if retirement is just five years away, what should you be doing right now?
Zak Dyer is a Certified Financial Planner and credentialed minister with the DoorWays Ministry Network. His work combines financial planning with a heart for helping people prepare wisely for the future. Zak lives near Sapulpa, Oklahoma, with his wife Elizabeth and their three school-aged children.
