Retirement Planning

Mapping Your Future Your Way

It’s Your Future.
Take Charge.

Retirement is an opportunity for reinvention. Retirement requires a ‘map for the future’. How do you want to spend your retirement? Traveling the world? Improving your golf or tennis game? Volunteering for your favorite charity? Or maybe even starting a new career? You can spend your retirement in style, but a lot of things go into creating the life you want.

Mapping Your Future Your Way begins with a self-assessment to measure your retirement readiness in five key areas:

Health
Housing
Finances
Work and Leisure
Relationships

Mapping Your Future Your Way is offered as a workplace or community program designed to prepare individuals for comprehensive retirement planning. The program also provides resources that assist individuals in retirement preparation.

ARC will bring Mapping Your Future to your company, organization or congregation. To schedule your presentation or obtain information, call 404-463-3222.

Information and resources regarding the five key areas is available on the AgeWise Connection website.

To assess your retirement readiness, take the survey. Download the Mapping Your Future survey (PDF) and complete it at your leisure.
Keys to a successful retirement are early planning and diligent preparation – start now.

Mapping Your Future Your Way is used in partnership with CJE SeniorLife of Chicago. The program is sponsored by the Georgia Lifelong Planning Program, Georgia Department of Human Resources.
