Find Meaning, Live with Purpose, and Leave a Legacy

Continue a life of meaning beyond retirement

In 2002, with his business partner, Adam Zuercher, Tony Hixon launched Hixon Zuercher Capital Management - a fee-only wealth management firm. Tony wanted to help clients ensure that they wouldn’t outlive their money - and possibly even have enough saved to accomplish their bucket-list goals. However, after several years of running a numbers-first business and serving his clients well in their financial lives, a family crisis changed his thinking.

Tony’s mother retired from her job as the director of a hospice agency, and she quickly fell into a deep depression as she lost her purpose and fulfillment derived from a lifelong career she had been passionate about. On March 22, 2011, Tony’s mother tragically took her own life. After this life-changing tragedy, Tony made it his goal to help pre-retirees not repeat the mistakes his mom made as she transitioned from her career into retirement. You need a plan for both your finances and your lifestyle.

Retirement Stepping Stones will help ensure that your retirement brings you pleasure, serenity of mind, and the enjoyment of a life well-lived. That your transition is from success to significance. That you find a newfound hope and a newfound purpose. That retirement brings you your best years.

Great Info…

I liked the organization of this book. It was logically laid out and the examples and stories were very helpful.

Exactly what I was looking for!

I am two years out from retirement, and just trying to get my head wrapped, not working after working for over 38 years. I'm excited about the workbook, and all that it has to offer in addition to this well worth the money to download and listen to this book.

I’ve been looking for this!

My Dad’s worked in the construction industry as a glazier. He was a perfectionist, who took tremendous pride in his work. The girlfriend of the boss’s daughter was the acting supervisor on the job. She told my Dad he was too picky and needed to pick up the pace. Without a plan in place, my Dad retired in anger. My Mom was finishing her last few years before retiring, so my Dad spent his initial days of retirement alone, bored and depressed. His life was defined by his career. After retirement, he had no purpose. It seemed as if he was dying day-by-day until my Mom retired. After Mom retired, Dad’s view of life improved, but he never regained his personal self-worth. I believe the first step into retirement should be planned and purposeful before making the retirement decision. Thank you for providing these critical steps.

Excellent preparation for retirement

As a 56 year old, I am starting to mull over the prospect of retirement and all that might entail. Tony Hixon's book is a very well-written guide to the whole picture -- social, professional, and financial. The steps he lays out, informed by his painful personal story, are a very practical guide for anyone with retirement on the horizon.

Not bad

Not really anything I had not already thought of….. fairly banal but certainly provides the basics
