DALLAS, March 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Every day, 10,000 baby boomers join the ranks of retired people.

McDonald and Bushey, who are executive coaches, have been thinking about their own future lives. They interviewed friends, colleagues and acquaintances to develop their unique, seven-step CHOICES Roadmap containing the conversations people should have to plot their course.

Our choices often boil down to what we let go, what we add and what we keep in our lives."
In an interview, McDonald and Bushey can talk about:
- What are the six lifestyle categories people tend to epitomize and why is knowing about them useful in retirement planning?
