Retirement coach Larry Jacobson joins Suzanne to continue their conversation, expanding on the advantage of seeking purpose and fulfillment in your senior years, rather than just personal pleasures.

Why not live a life of multiple pleasures? "Not everything you do has to have purpose. But you're going to be missing something in your life, that you have purpose in doing something. I've had a client say, 'I deserve to have pleasures now, I deserve to do fun things.' My reply is, 'Yeah, you do, so do that. But it's not going to satisfy you in the long term. You don't have join the Peace Corps. But there's a line somewhere in between just pure pleasure and joining the Peace Corps and helping starving people somewhere. Look for a balance in your life."
