Three Retirement Questions That Can Shape Our Future – MIT AgeLab Study (116)
Oct 29, 2025 Episode 116
Jonathan Bednar II, CFP

In this episode I share three practical questions that can reshape retirement: 

  1. Who you’ll have lunch with, 
  2. Who will handle home tasks, and
  3. How you’ll get an ice cream cone? 

The focus shifts from bucket lists to daily life, social health, safety, and mobility, with steps you can act on now.

• Why day-to-day design beats bucket lists
• Planning social routines to avoid loneliness
• Right-sizing the home and safety upgrades
• Protecting mobility and spontaneity with transport options
• Blending tech tools with community and family help
• Budgeting for services that sustain independence
• Key stats from MIT AgeLab and practical examples
