Executives Are Quitting to Spend Time With Family

It is the title of an article from the New York Times.

“At the highest levels of corporate America, top executives are reassessing the role of work in their lives, stepping back and walking away. Some were burned out. Some were unhappy. Some were disillusioned. Some wanted their lives back. Some truly and genuinely wanted to spend more time with their families. All, in their own ways, decided that they’d had enough with the intense demands that come with being a senior executive, and walked away.”

Do you want to change your life?

This article gives examples of executives who walked. When the post hit Twitter, there were many comments which were negative. Whilst being well paid is part of the deal, there is always a price to pay.  Most executives find work and family life a struggle.  For some, as illustrated in this story, the price is too high for their family.

I write about it because these executives are making brave decisions to change their lives.  Inevitably their financial lives, at least in the short term, will also change.

In the same way, as people reach retirement, it is vital to seek help and guidance.  To flush out ideas and thoughts to ensure the retirement journey is a great one.  Changing your lifestyle is another life-changing event financially.  Before you decide to change your life, you need to discuss the possible outcomes and consequences.

Individuals are nudged by different life events into seeking professional financial guidance.  It’s important you build relationships when you can, so the trust is there when the decision needs to be made.
