There s the dream of retirement and then there s the reality.
Joel Malick and Alex Lippert are financial planners and two of the partners in Colorado Springs-based Steadfast Wealth Co. Over the years, they ve seen a consistent theme: While people may have the financial side in place to enjoy retirement, they often ignore the emotional side, the reality of moving forward while having lost a key definer in their lives: their work. And so Malick and Lippert have written a book, Afterwork, aimed at making the golden years truly that. (The book, available on Amazon.com, is subtitled An Honest Discussion About the Retirement Lie and How to Live a Future Worthy of Dreams. )
