A recent Fidelity Investments poll illuminates new trends in the ever-changing retirement planning landscape.  Notably, 66% of respondents envision a phased-in approach to retirement, which deviates from the conventional full-stop strategy.  This choice shows a shift towards flexible retirement solutions across generations, as evidenced by the significant interest shown by both Gen Zers and millennials.

The wide-ranging implications of this trend point to the necessity of flexibility in retirement advice and planning when preparing to retire from TopBuild. The departure from traditional retirement models highlights a more comprehensive reassessment of retirement goals and work-life balance, reflecting shifting perspectives toward the end of your TopBuild career.

Retirement is now seen as a new chapter with opportunity for learning, growth, and contribution rather than as an end. This is especially true for seasoned professionals from high-ranking roles.
