For years, retirement has been defined by a simple formula: save enough, stop working, relax. But today’s retirees are challenging that narrative. Instead of just reaching a number, they’re asking a more powerful question: What’s the purpose of my retirement—and how do I make it count?

At PrairieView Wealth and Tax Advisors, we call that living your Two Comma Life—a life not just of wealth, but of abundance, freedom, and purpose. It’s about more than money. It’s about building a retirement that reflects who you are and what you value most.

Let’s explore how purpose-driven retirement planning can help you design a next chapter filled with meaning, impact, and clarity.

1. Defining Your Purpose in Retirement

Retirement isn’t the end—it’s a new beginning. But without a sense of purpose, even the most financially secure retirement can feel aimless.

So, ask yourself:

• What brings me joy?
• How do I want to spend my time?
• What kind of legacy do I want to leave?
• Who do I want to impact—family, community, the world?

Whether it’s traveling, mentoring, volunteering, or launching a passion project, your retirement should be a reflection of your values, interests, and dreams. Once your purpose is clear, your financial plan can be built to support it.

2. Aligning Financial Strategies with Lifestyle Goals

When you retire with purpose, your money becomes a tool—not the goal. At PrairieView Wealth and Tax Advisors, we help you align your financial strategy with your desired lifestyle, so every dollar supports what matters most to you.

Here’s how we make that happen:

• Budgeting with Intention: Know where your money goes and make sure it reflects your values.
• Retirement Income Planning: Develop sustainable withdrawal strategies so you never have to wonder, “Will I run out of money?”
• Health & Longevity Planning: Prepare for long-term care and unexpected health costs while protecting your freedom.
• Time & Travel Goals: Want to explore the world or spend time with grandkids? We’ll make sure your plan supports it.
  

Purpose-driven retirement planning is all about connecting the dots between what you want to do and how you fund it—so you can live fully, not just comfortably.
