Over the course of a lifetime, a person can expect to experience a significant amount of change. Some of these changes are generally positive (marriage, birth, and new jobs). Other major life transitions, such as job loss, divorce, and even planning for retirement, may cause a significant amount of stress. Adjusting to change can be difficult.“You cannot think your way to new ways of living; you have to live your way to new ways of thinking.” Richard Rohr, OFMOne of the key aspects of a successful life transition is having a realistic financial strategy for the next phase of life.
