RALEIGH, N.C., March 29, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Divorce over the age of 50 is growing at double the general divorce rate in the U.S. But "gray divorce" is just one of the retirement issues that the aging U.S. population might face. The current generation of retirees, unlike those of the past, need to think about a longer, healthier fourth quarter of life, requiring a focus on much more than just financial aspects. According to Dennis Stearns, author of 4th Quarter Fumbles: How Successful People Avoid Critical Mistakes Later in Life, a key question to consider in the fourth quarter of life is "what makes you get out of bed in the morning?"

"People spend more time planning a two-week vacation than they do planning what could be a 30-year retirement," says Stearns. "As a financial advisor, I know that people need to be concerned about their retirement finances, but what many don't realize is the importance of thriving rather than simply surviving. Getting things right in the early 'go-go years' of retirement sets you up for success later in the 'slow-go' years."

WHAT MIGHT GO WRONG

Stearns and his colleague Haleh Moddasser, author of Gray Divorce, Silver Linings: A Woman's Guide to Divorce After 50, offer a rare appreciation for the non-financial elements of a successful retirement as experienced through the vastly differing lenses of men and women. The two recently spoke at The Advisor Thought Leader Summit, held at the University of Chicago Gleacher Center, on the topic. They presented a case study of a newly retired couple "gone wrong."

One common mishap after another ultimately resulted in an end to the relationship, an example of gray divorce, a specialty area of Moddasser's. This thought-provoking, 15-minute video on Avoiding Mars and Venus Issues in Retirement Years could change the trajectory of the viewer's life.

"This is the first generation of retirees facing longer retirements that require careful thinking and planning to meet their hopes and expectations," cautions Stearns. In his 4th Quarter Fumbles book, Stearns focuses on helping people address the big potential fourth-quarter fumbles and how to avoid them, or at least minimize the damage and bounce back.

In conversations with clients, the professionals at Stearns Financial Group emphasize that "the why" (purpose in retirement), "the where" (living situation) and "the who" (the people you surround yourself with) are as important as the "how much" (the bucket of money needed to live well).

There are nine key dangers which hinge on the following goals:

  1. Making Better Decisions
  2. Having a Good Transition Plan
  3. Creating a Balanced Financial and Investment Strategy
  4. Having a Good Reason to Get Out of Bed
  5. Wellness vs. the Absence of Illness
  6. Social Networks and How They Rule Even in the Fourth Quarter
  7. Communication's Vital Role
  8. Thoughtful Estate Planning
  9. Getting Your Living Options Right

"Visualizing what success looks like is challenging without some help from friends, life coaches or professional advisors trained to consider next-chapter-of-life issues. At Stearns Financial Group, our professional advice is an outgrowth of many years helping people plan for the fourth quarter of their lives, both financially and personally."

A free interactive assessment, available at www.4thQuarterFumbles.com, provides a Fumbleocity™ score with customized ideas on how to avoid retirement fumbles.
