RETIREMENT…….that long awaited time when you can kick back and do whatever you want…… or so a lot of retirees think. But have you PLANNED for this big event (and are you ready)? Consider the following:
- Are you physically fit to do what you want?
- Have you saved/invested enough funds to do those activities you’ve waited so long to do?
- Have you researched projects or programs you would enjoy participating in?
- How about a part-time job…have you investigated possibilities?
So what are some activities retirees can be involved with?
- Taking classes at colleges/universities….learning new things enhances brain health
- Traveling (remember this takes money)
- Join clubs (great socialization)
- Volunteer for various organizations (hospitals, YMCAs, Big Brothers & Big Sisters, schools)
- Find a part-time or on-call job that you would enjoy…….also supplements income
- Join exercise programs (YWCA, YMCA, Tai Chi)………keep that body healthy and in good shape
- Write a book or start a personal blog
- Start a business
So plan well and enjoy your Retirement!
