Retirement is a time in life when people transition out of the workforce with more free time to enjoy life. But, when we do so, we are leaving our paychecks behind.

Often times in life, expectations and reality diverge. The weather forecast may call for rain but then it’s sunny all day. Or your map app says it will take 45 minutes to reach your destination, but an unexpected detour takes an hour and a half.
