How can an 9 mile adventure possibly relate to retirement?

We recently spent a day on the Bob Bear Trail to Fossil Creek Falls in Strawberry, Arizona. It is 4.5 miles down to the water, a swim in the creek, and 4.5 miles back up.

It was hard, and the climb back is what asked the most of us.

Retirement can feel a lot like that.

The reward is real, and the second half is where a solid plan matters most. We are grateful we got to do it together.

Recently, some of our family took part in Trek, a few days of dressing as pioneers, pulling handcarts, and camping that our church holds for the youth.

It's a chance to honor the generations who came before us and the hard things they did to build a better life for the people who followed.

In our work, we spend a lot of time thinking about legacy. Trek is a good reminder that what we pass on is measured in more than dollars.

Often it's the values, stories, and the example we leave behind that is the most long lasting.

What does financial clutter really look like?

It’s more than a drawer full of statements.

It can be:

• Multiple accounts with no clear strategy

• Overlapping investments across custodians

• Inconsistent or outdated beneficiary information

• Forgotten login credentials and unlabeled documents
