What happens when the life you planned no longer fits the person you’ve become?
Retirement planning can create space to reconsider where you live, how you work, and what you want your next chapter to look like.
In this episode, I talk with Meg McKeen, Founder and Principal Consultant at Adjunct Advisors LLC, about the personal and financial decisions that reshaped her life. Meg shares how divorce pushed her to understand her finances and become her own advocate, how she eventually left corporate life and became a full-time traveler, and why she’s learning to balance saving for the future with living today. We also explore practicing retirement, spending after years of saving, and giving yourself permission to choose a path that may look different from everyone else’s.
Meg discusses:
- How divorce became a turning point for learning to make financial and personal decisions independently
- Why understanding everyday expenses helped her see that supporting herself financially was possible
- How leaving corporate life and selling her home eventually developed into five years of full-time travel
- Why practicing a different lifestyle before retirement can help clarify what you actually want from it
- How learning to spend intentionally can be just as important as building the habit of saving for retirement
