A new chapter in retirement planning is unfolding with the launch of Root’s retirement community platform. This initiative represents a fresh approach to helping people navigate their retirement journey, combining financial education with genuine human connection.
Beyond Traditional Financial Planning
Traditional financial advice often focuses solely on investment strategies, tax planning, and estate management. While these elements remain crucial, the new Root retirement community acknowledges that successful retirement requires more than just financial security.
The platform addresses several key aspects of retirement planning:
- Community engagement and peer support
- Health and wellness guidance
- Travel planning and experiences
- Purpose-driven activities
- Expert-led discussions and educational content
Interactive Learning and Support
Members can expect regular interactive sessions, including expert interviews, adviser discussions, and community-driven conversations. The platform will feature various educational programs throughout the week, creating an engaging environment where members can learn and share experiences. This community is a chance to say yes to financial education, but also to go beyond that with genuine community engagement.
Membership Details
The retirement community is accessible to both Root Financial clients and non-clients. Current Root Financial clients receive complimentary access as part of their existing services. For others, membership starts at $50 per month, with an early adopter rate of $20 per month available for a limited time.
The platform emphasizes accessibility, offering special considerations for those actively working to improve their financial situation. This aligns with Root’s mission to expand access to quality financial guidance.
Community-Driven Development
The platform will evolve based on member feedback and participation. Members can influence future content, suggest topics for discussion, and help shape the community’s direction. This collaborative approach ensures the platform remains relevant and valuable to its members.
Features will include live shows, expert interviews, travel discussions, and real-time communication with other members. The goal is to create an engaging daily destination for retirement-focused content and conversation.
