Retirement Quick Tips with Ashley


May 24, 2020

It’s Sunday, which means...It’s recap time! 

This week, I talked about your legacy. You are literally writing your legacy every single day with how you live your life and the impact you make on those around you...scary isn’t it!? But there are also several intentional ways you can leave your legacy and make a lasting impact on your loved ones. I talked about several of those ideas for leaving your legacy this week. 

Many people think about legacy in terms of helping pay for grandkids college or leaving your coveted beach house to your kids, or your coveted vintage record collection to your favorite niece and that’s where the thought of legacy ends...with the stuff. 

So this week, my goal was to help you go deeper into the process of thinking through your legacy and how you want to be remembered. 

Here’s what we covered in each episode this week:

  • Write Your Obituary...It’s More Fun Than It Sounds
  • Make A Scrapbook For Your Kids
  • Write Your 90th Birthday Speech 
  • Make a Legacy Video For Your Family
  • Decide On Your Charitable Bequest Now

The beauty with all of these exercises is that they matter and will be meaningful...most of them are easy to get done and in the process, you’ll discover more about your priorities and what’s most important to you. 

Hopefully after listening to the One Minute Retirement Tip this week, you have at least one good idea of a legacy you want to implement and what you really want to be remembered for, and my ultimate hope is that you take action to document your own legacy for your loved ones.

Tomorrow, we are starting a brand new theme: Re-evaluating Your Spending During COVID-19. With so many restrictions on travel, eating out, closed stores, this is a unique time to think about the areas of spending in your life that are most important, as well as those areas that are least important. Once of the great opportunities of this current crisis is that it takes an evaluation of your spending from a hypothetical exercise to a real-world exercise. What will you permanently cut back on or cut out? Let’s not go back to normal when this is over, but rather use this time as an opportunity to let go of the areas of spending that we don’t miss that much and be more intentional about spending from here on out. That’s what I’ll be covering next week. 

That’s it for this week! Thanks for listening and I hope you have a blessed Sunday!
