The framework
Nine things at once, not one.
Every tool for this stage of life fixes on the money and ignores the rest. Bearings takes all nine seriously — because the hard part of leaving work was never only the math. Start anywhere.
money.01
Income, drawdown, taxes, pensions — the math behind the rest.
work.02
Winding down, leaning in, or pivoting entirely.
body.03
Bones, brain, energy — and the cost of caring for all three.
place.04
Where you'll actually live, and the question behind it.
people.05
Partners, children, friends — the ones you'll need and the ones who'll need you.
time.06
What you'll do with the hours you've just been given back.
meaning.07
Identity, purpose, the question of what it's all for.
legacy.08
Estate, giving, what you leave behind and who carries it.
succession.09
If you own a business, the exit deserves a plan.
