Financial and Life Planning

If we Boomers are re-inventing life after 50, then we're probably going to re-invent financial planning. I think the emphasis will be on "life planning," as in "What do I want to be when I really grow up?" Or at least, what do I want to do with my time? What are my dreams and can I afford to live them?

You'd probably like to help your loved ones (we have a daughter's wedding to pay for this year!) and give back to your community. Is there a way to do it all?
