About us
The idea of The Retirement Bank came to me one quiet day spent with my wife. There was no plan, no schedule, no goal — just a slow morning that turned into an unhurried afternoon. We did exactly what we wanted, and somehow, that ordinary day felt extraordinary. By evening, I realized something simple but profound: this is what retirement should feel like — not someday, but now.
“The Retirement Bank helped me see that I was rich in ways I’d never counted before. I started noticing my ‘everyday deposits’ — small acts of joy, family moments, gratitude — and it changed how I live. This isn’t a book about money; it’s a book about meaning.”
Karen M., Reader, Wilmington, NC
“After attending The Retirement Bank workshop, I finally understood why I was feeling unbalanced — I’d been investing everything in work and neglecting my emotional assets. The Life Balance Sheet exercise gave me clarity and peace. It’s practical, personal, and deeply moving.”
Michael R., Workshop Participant
“Dan Leonard’s The Retirement Bank reframes personal growth with the precision of a financial metaphor and the warmth of lived wisdom. It’s a movement that helps people invest in what truly compounds — gratitude, presence, and love. A must-read for anyone rethinking success.”
Susan Cain, Author of Quiet (hypothetical example)
“I can’t say enough about the insight and care behind The Retirement Bank. It went beyond what I expected — helping me see my life, priorities, and peace through a whole new lens. This isn’t just a book; it’s an experience that truly exceeded my expectations.”
