Episode 13: Use Your Resources!

You can know yourself inside out and still reach retirementunderprepared, because self-knowledge doesn’t build a social network or fill 2,500 newly empty hours. This episode closes the section with three exercises: the Social Convoy Map shows how much of your circle exists only because of yourworkplace, the Retirement Resource Inventory scores your health, finances, social ties and sense of self, and the Time Use Audit leads you to the dreaded blank Tuesday at 10 a.m. Your assignment is to draw the circles, score yourself, and build one honest mock Tuesday. Next up is Section 3, where we explore retirement as an identity transition.
