What's Retirement Happiness?

More money doesn’t hurt, but health and relationships with peers matter just as much to retirees. If you’re looking for happiness in retirement for your clients, you can forget relationships with adult children, buying a slick car to cruise the cul-de-sac or lounging at a beach cabin in Mazatlán, Mexico.
Instead, there are only three categories that lead to satisfaction—when you have enough money, when you have relationships with your peers and community, and when you have your health. These three things might seem different, but they have one critical thing in common: They all require investment before retirement.
