Take a BREAK!
A SMARTER WAY TO RETIRE Heart health and wealth are more connected than most of us realize, especially as we think about retirement. The choices we make today, from what we eat to how we manage stress and money, shape our future quality of life. However, one of the greatest wake-up calls is the cost of health expenses. Health care costs are often one of the largest and most underestimated expenses in retirement. Chronic conditions, prescriptions, and unexpected medical events can quickly erode savings if you don’t plan for them. That’s why proactive financial planning matters just as much as proactive self-care. When we invest in our health now, we don’t just add years to our lives; we protect the wealth we’ve worked so hard to build. Long-term care planning is another crucial piece of the puzzle. Whether it’s in-home support, assisted living, or specialized care, these services can be costly and emotionally taxing without a plan. Thinking ahead allows you to make choices on your terms, rather than under pressure later. Staying financially and physically fit in retirement comes down to daily habits. Small, consistent actions compound over time, much like smart investing. Our team lives this philosophy, each in their own way. Andrea reminds us that health isn’t just physical; it’s emotional and mental, too. Her practice of saying “no” and honoring boundaries protects time and energy, which are priceless assets. As Anne Lamott, American novelist and nonfiction writer, wisely said, “’No’ is a complete sentence.” Caroline starts every morning by squeezing a fresh lemon into 16 ounces of water before anything else. It’s a simple ritual that supports hydration and digestion before the day gets busy. Robin fuels her mornings with intention, adding protein and collagen to her coffee. For someone who isn’t a breakfast person, it’s a practical way to jumpstart nutrition without overthinking it. Eileen’s foundation is spiritual. By praying the rosary each morning, she centers her health, wealth, and happiness in faith, confidence, and gratitude, an important part of well-being often overlooked. Adam keeps it green. Whether it’s a quick shake or a blended smoothie with spinach, fruit, and protein, his habit supports energy and long-term vitality. Ultimately, retirement success isn’t just about numbers on a spreadsheet. It’s about having the health, clarity, and resources to enjoy the life you’ve planned. When heart health meets wealth planning, everyone wins. Protecting Your Health, Protecting Your Wealth
