Retirement preparation begins long before your final day at work. Retirement Before the Retirement Party is a practical guide to navigating the important decisions, responsibilities, and lifestyle adjustments that come before leaving employment.

Through 16 thoughtfully developed chapters, discover how to: * Identify the structure, relationships, and benefits your job currently provides. * Prepare for changes in income, employment benefits, and daily routines. * Organize professional records and important personal information before workplace access ends. * Complete responsibilities and transfer knowledge without creating unnecessary future obligations. * Prepare family relationships and household routines for retirement. * Establish healthy boundaries around your future availability. * Develop meaningful plans for your time beyond employment. * Prepare for the final 90 days of work and protect your first month of retirement. Featuring the Pre-Retirement Runway Toolkit, this book provides practical frameworks to help readers approach retirement with greater organization, confidence, and clarity. Ideal for professionals approaching retirement, employees planning their final working years, and anyone seeking a thoughtful transition from career responsibilities into a new season of life. Prepare for retirement before the farewell celebration begins. Created by Unveil Resource Studio
