Retirement Lifestyle
Creating the Retirement Lifestyle You Deserve
A strong financial foundation gives you the freedom to create a future that truly reflects your values, purpose, and passions.
Retirement Lifestyle Leadership
At Twelve Points Wealth Management, we believe retirement should be more than just a financial milestone—it’s a chance to redefine your passions, reconnect with your purpose, and decide how you really want to spend your time.
We work with clients who are ready to think beyond the numbers. Together, we explore what will make this next chapter meaningful—then build a financial plan that supports it. Whether you're ten years away from retirement or already in it, we’ll help you create a roadmap that lets you live with passion, freedom, and intention.

How Longevity
Changes The Game
You’ve probably heard the average lifespan is around 78; but here’s the thing: if you make it to 65, you’re likely to live well into your 80s. If you’re healthy, maybe even 90 or more.
That means retirement isn’t just a break from work. It’s a whole new life stage that could last 20–30 years. So, it’s worth asking:
What do you want those years to look like?
Have you ever entered a 20-year period of your life without a plan? Without any goals? Probably not. Retirement deserves the same kind of thought, maybe even more.
How We Help You Figure It Out
Our job at Twelve Points isn’t just to manage money. It’s to help you figure out how you want to live—and then make sure that your money supports that.
We help you figure out how you want to live through several methods: workshops, webinars, tools, book suggestions, and good old-fashioned one-on-one conversations. Here are some of the areas we help clients think through:
- What kind of retirement lifestyle do you really want?
- What passions or interests do you want to develop or explore?
- What activities would help you feel that you have a purpose in life?
- Do you want to work part-time, consult, or start something new?
- How might you give back or volunteer in a way that’s meaningful?
- How can you increase the likelihood that you are healthy and vital in your last decade?
- How to keep your social connections strong as your friends move away?
- How will you keep growing and learning?
We’re here to ask better questions and help you make decisions that feel right for you—not for some generic idea of retirement.
