Are you planning for retirement? Have you looked beyond the obvious financial planning required for a successful retirement? If you haven’t carefully considered the non-economic aspects of this important life transition, then now is an opportune time to stop and reconsider your future. This effort could lead to an improvement of your original plan as it morphs into a whole new vision. The old adage from the 1960s is as alive and well today as it was then: “Failing to plan is planning to fail.”
Many are working in retirement but doing it in a different way. They are choosing to do something that they truly love and enjoy. What have you always wanted to do but didn’t have the time or money to do? Is there a cause out there that could bring you some income but not tie you down and rob you of hard-earned free time? What was a dream you had when you were younger that you would like to pursue in retirement? These are the kinds of questions that could lead you down the path of self-discovery to a successful retirement.
