Your Beach
Finding your beach provides motivation to get to your finish line. "Beach" is a metaphor for whatever/wherever motivates you. It could be the mountains, your childhood home town. Moving closer to your kids so you can enjoy the grandkids and an extended family lifestyle. Whatever your 'beach' is, hone and make it yours. Get a picture, make it your screensaver on your phone, computer or put on your refrigerator. It's a great reminder of what's important to you.
This will provide you great motivation to achieve Step 2, which is your plan to financial freedom. Create one that is easy for you to follow and best ones are semi-automated. That's have we've put together our "Beach" Retirement Plan to Financial Freedom.
I think of my beach and all the great things I will do there. For me it's just not one beach, but a couple magical places I grown to love over the years. It's a place I take extra pleasure when I enjoy that cup of coffee overlooking the water and watching the golfer and butterflies flutter by.
It's where I get to have great conversations and wonderful dishes with my immediate family, extended family and my annual friend-weekend filled with fun and laughter.
