A unique look at how to approach the future in “retirement.”
There are many things that can happen in our futures- especially a long retirement with many uncertainties and unknowns. If you were to retire at 55 and live to 90, you would be “retired” for as long as you were working.
As the author points out,
“This is where renowned futurist James Dator’s “Four Futures” framework comes in. Originally designed to explore how societies might evolve, it outlines four types of possible futures. Retirement research suggests that many retirees’ experiences often fall into similar patterns, from the expected and routine to the unpredictable, challenging and transformative.
As a planning tool, it offers a surprisingly practical way to prepare for retirement: Not by predicting the future, but by becoming more resilient to whatever form it might take.”
Learn what the ‘Rule of Four Futures’ is and how it applies to your retirement.
