What's Your Change Personality?
New research reveals that how you deal with uncertainty - your attitudes toward risk and change - can play a big role in defining your retirement path
We recently conducted a major study of working Americans age 50 and older to discover how their attitudes toward change might affect their transition to retirement. The results? When it comes to views on change, risk, and uncertainty, most pre-retirees fall into one of four "personality profiles" - each with unique possible implications for retirement planning. How do you deal with change? What's your change-management profile? How do you compare to other pre-retirees? For more about the research and what it could mean for you, click on the link that follows. You can also take a brief quiz to conduct your own "Transition Analysis."
