| Life
Planning is a guided process by which one takes stock of one’s
life, clarifies dreams, goals and challenges, and identifies
the steps necessary to create the life one wants to live.
A life planning consultant and other allied
professionals can help Third Agers address relevant issues
and find the resources - people and information - needed for
a meaningful transition to a fulfilling next chapter. Life
planning is often collaborative, involving certified financial
planners, attorneys and other professionals.
