Life coaches help clients improve their lives, and achieve their goals, through lifestyle changes.  Green Retirement Planning enables individuals to retire early, and with significantly less savings, by living a green lifestyle.

By helping clients switch  from a consumption lifestyle, to a green lifestyle, life coaches can help their clients achieve their retirement goals.

Clients of life coaches, and everyone else, have been severely impacted by declines in the housing and stock markets.   Retirement accounts in the United States have already lost $2 trillion dollars this year, housing values have plunged 30%, and economists predict the situation will only get much worse.

Up until now, life coaches have had very few options, when it  came to helping their clients plan retirements.   Life coaches are not allowed, unless they hold appropriate licenses, to sell or offer investment advice.   For the most part, Life coaches have been denied the opportunity, to help their clients with one of life’s most important transitions.   Banks, mutual funds, 401k administrators, certified financial planners, money managers, discount brokerages, were where clients went for retirement planning advice.

Not anymore.   Green Retirement Planning is the first retirement product, that truly enables Life Coaches to offer their clients, a simple and affordable method of achieving financial freedom.   A retirement product that benefits the individual, society, and the planet.   Because Green Retirement is a lifestyle product, and not an investment product, Life Coaches do not need  special licenses, education, or certifications, in order to offer their clients Green Retirement Planning.

Life Coaches are already equipped with the necessary training, to help their clients make the lifestyle changes, needed to take advantage of the Green Retirement Planning method.   Here’s how Green Retirement works:

How much a person consumes in retirement, determines how much savings they will need for retirement, and when they can retire.   The life coach helps their client create a retirement budget, and make the necessary lifestyle changes, that will enable them to achieve their retirement goals.   The greener a person becomes, and the less they consume,   the less savings they need for retirement.   Green Retirement calculates the positive retirement benefit of conserving financial resources.

Let me give you an example:

Your client rents a storage unit costing $150 per month.   If they held a garage sale, and ended that monthly expense, they would need $45,000 less dollars to retire.   If your client lives a car free life in retirement she can retire with $180,000 less retirement savings.   If she rents a $350 per month less expensive condo in retirement,   retire with $100,000 less retirement savings, $100,000 is the amount of savings needed to pay for the $350 more expensive condo unit.   Taken all together, your client after these lifestyle changes, can retire with $225,000 less dollars.   How many years earlier will your client be able to retire? Green Retirement can calculate that figure as well.

Life Coaches are trained experts at helping their clients make lifestyle changes and transitions.   It is only natural, no pun intended, that Life Coaches would wish to offer their clients Green Retirement Planning.   Compare Green v.s. traditional.   If your client earns $80,000 per year, traditional retirement planning calculates, that she will need $1,600,000 to retire.   Using Green Retirement, if her retirement budget is $2750 per month, she only needs$825,000 to retire.

That is a $775,000 difference in required retirement savings, between Green Retirement and traditional retirement, imagine how many years earlier your client can retire not having to save an additional $775,000 for retirement.

This is great news in our current economic situation, and will bring hope to your client, that they can still achieve their retirement dreams.   You may find that some of your clients are in a position to retire right now, even though they may believe that they will have to delay their retirements, and continue to work for many more years.

Life coach clients receive more than Early Retirement Planning, they also get Early Retirement Software, the tool that helps them achieve their retirement goals.   Green Retirement Software helps your clients track their expenses, create a current and retirement budget, household financial portfolio-at-glance, and more.  Green Retirement Software is designed for people planning their retirement, and for retirees, helping them to create and stay on budget.

How much does Green Retirement Planning and Software cost life coaches? Nothing. No books to buy, dvds, memberships, workshops, certifications, nothing.   The cost of  Early Retirement Planning and Software is $49.  Traditional retirement planners charge $1,500 per plan.
