What is “Micro-Retirement?”

We’re proud to share that our Senior Wealth Advisor, Christine Parisi, was featured in a recent article on Scary Mommy surrounding “Micro-Retirement” as the latest work-related trend, written by Beth Ann Mayer.

In the article, Christine offers valuable insights on the emerging trend of “micro-retirements” which are intentional breaks from the workforce to rest, reset, or pursue personal passions. She clarifies what truly qualifies as a micro-retirement and distinguishes it from common misconceptions such as parental leave or stay-at-home parenting, noting that those responsibilities are far from “time off.”

Christine also emphasizes the importance of planning with intention and outlines key financial considerations for those interested in taking a micro-retirement, such as budgeting, securing health insurance, and creating a realistic timeline. Her thoughtful guidance helps readers understand not just how to step away, but also how to re-enter the workforce with purpose and stability.

We’re thrilled to see Christine’s thoughtful perspective featured in such a widely-read publication!
