Great article on what keeps Retirees up at night. This is also keeping me up at night. We talk about this in my programs and make plans for the future that will give you peace.

Market volatility may keep retirees up at night, but the biggest risk to retirement security isn't what is happening on Wall Street. Instead, the chance of living longer than expected and depleting your assets is the bigger threat to retirement security.

People typically spend less time planning their retirement than they did on their last vacation. It is important to look at the non-financial side of retirement planning. You may have sufficient money to retire but no plans on how to spend your next 20 to 30 years.

Consider these questions to help you determine your retirement lifestyle and its potential costs.

I work with the best teachers and staff in the State. It amazes me that we were able to keep the doors open all this year. This is a tribute to our fantastic and dedicated staff. Thanks for all your do and for going the extra mile for the past 700 days of this COVID crisis.

I also want to express my thanks to the parents and guardians that have supported the District by allowing us to give several Virtual Friday Learning Days. This has really supported our teachers to feel valued and has allowed them time to continue providing quality educational supports. This has really been a team effort. It is an honor to be able to be part of this outstanding organization.

There has been a lot of talk about public schools, and public school teachers, lately. This always seems to happen during the state’s legislative session. While they’re not perfect, there is a lot to love about the public schools. I am a public school teacher and have been one for 20 years. That...

Something that I am also learning to do. I need to say NO more frequently to be able to say YES to that which is most important.

Saying no is one of the most difficult and powerful things you can say. No claims your boundaries. It’s honors self. It’s truly an act of self love.

Saying no draws the line of what is important to you and not succumbing to the pressure of someone making their needs a priority over your needs.

Loving yourself takes courage. It takes strength. It takes valuing self enough to protect your most important asset, your time!
