What Is a Retirement Manifesto — and Why Do You Need One?

A manifesto is a declaration of an individual or group’s intentions and motivations. Most big life events involve some kind of manifesto — whether you call it that or not. Contracts, wedding vows, and employment agreements are all declarations of your intent. Retirement is actually an ideal time to write a manifesto. Retirement is your time — your time to be who you want to be.
