oday, when you announce
retirement, many friends
will ask, “What you are
retiring to do?”
That’s because closing one
corporate door often means
creating the time to open a
door more focused on
volunteer work, a
long-desired entrepreneurial
venture, investments in
personal health, or sports,
or learning a new skill via
lifelong learning at nearby
colleges. (One friend spent
a year studying Italian to
make her trip to Italy a
more manageable experience.
Another decided to finally,
finally conquer the
navigational challenges of
her new computer.)
What’s on your bucket list
and how will retirement free
you up to pursue it? Start
the chat on
Facebook.
Email
us with your experiences and
we’ll share. Sit down with
your favorite beverage and
plan a powerful to-do list
to be tackled when 8-5 is no
longer required.
Retiring is not being put
out to pasture. It’s not a
life of boredom and
lethargy. It is time to pick
up the golf clubs again, or
perhaps make your garden a
thing of beauty. Above
all, retiring offers time -
precious time - to be with
family and friends.
Retiring is what you
make it. Let’s get started.
