As life transitions from building and achieving to reflecting and refining, many find themselves asking: What now? What truly matters? That question marks the beginning of a different kind of wealth, the wealth of meaning, contribution, and legacy.

At Plan for Purpose, we guide people in answering those questions through a blend of financial wisdom and personal vision. Below are five powerful prompts to help you create a purpose-filled life that reflects your values, and benefits generations to come.

1. What Do I Want My Life to Stand For?

This foundational question invites you to name your core values. Is it generosity? Integrity? Faith? Family? Knowing this informs how you show up, in your finances, time, relationships, and legacy.

Try This: Write your own mission statement or “legacy headline”, one sentence that captures what you hope others will say about your life.

2. Who Do I Want to Impact, and How?

Your influence doesn’t have to be wide, it just needs to be intentional. It may be your grandchildren, a local nonprofit, a mentee, or your faith community.

Ask yourself: Who needs your voice, your time, or your resources, and how can you show up for them?

Tip: Permanent life insurance can fund your legacy, both for heirs and charitable causes, in a way that outlives you.

3. How Will I Measure Fulfillment, Not Just Success?

Retirement often prompts an identity shift. Without the structure of work, it’s easy to feel adrift, unless you replace it with purposeful direction.

True fulfillment isn’t found in being busy, it’s found in being aligned. What brings you joy, peace, and connection?

4. What Legacy Do I Want to Leave Behind?

Legacy is more than money. It’s about what you stood for, what you taught, and what you enabled. It’s your values, your stories, your impact, intentionally passed on.

Have you documented your wishes? Shared your values with your family? Considered how your financial tools reflect your true legacy?

5. What Needs to Change for Me to Live on Purpose?

This is the activation question. Purpose doesn’t live in “someday.” It lives in the calendar, the bank account, and the habits we choose now.

Ask: What needs to shift, in my time, spending, or relationships, to reflect what matters most?

Start Small: A single change, like planning a legacy meeting or reviewing your insurance, can shift your trajectory.
