A free test of 20 questions that takes about 4 minutes and scores you across five categories: Money, Health, Time & Place, People, and Purpose & Identity.
What does the $49 Retirement Life Audit give me?+
It helps you identify what matters most in your next chapter — your time, relationships, experiences, health, and purpose. You leave with three priorities and a first step you can take this month. It's $49 one time, with no subscription.
What do I get in the Club?+
A new retirement design challenge (a guided monthly experiment) every month with a companion worksheet; a private community of members sharing wins, ideas, and questions; a resource library of experiments, worksheets, and frameworks organized by pillar; the Live Rich Experiences video archive; a private keep/change/stop tracker; and a monthly planning check-in. Was $9.99, now $4.99/month — on sale. Cancel anytime.
