Forejoy
Planning the years after work before they arrive.
Most retirement planning begins with money. Forejoy begins with the life the money is meant to support: how you want to spend your days, what you want to keep learning, who you want around you, where you want to be, and what might give those years shape.

We are starting with five projects we can explain and build. Future work may include reading walks, public conversations, writing exercises, and tools for adults who want to do more of their own thinking and writing.
