Empty Nesters: Planning for Your Next Chapter

As Empty Nesters watching your children embark on their journey into adulthood is a proud moment for any parent. Yet, as their car disappears down the street, you may find yourself grappling with those familiar empty nest sentiments: concerns about their decisions, financial habits, health, and overall well-being. If you’re experiencing these emotions, it signals the onset of a new chapter in your life. With the focus shifting from your children’s daily needs, it’s time to recalibrate your plans and seek guidance.

Transitioning to a Mentor Role

As your children become more independent, you transition into a mentor role, offering advice while remaining a source of guidance. With newfound time and mental clarity, you may channel your energy into advancing your career or exploring new endeavors. As the household dynamics change, your personal budget undergoes adjustments, potentially expanding or contracting.

Eyeing Retirement on the Horizon

With one phase of life behind you, retirement looms on the horizon. If you crafted a will or trust during your children’s upbringing, it’s time for an update. You need a plan that safeguards this stage of life and prepares you for the next.
