The “New Retirement”

Gone are the days when retirement meant sitting at home and growing old. Retirement is a new freedom where you can spend your time and energy on your dreams, rather than earning a paycheck. The possibilities are endless, only limited by your imagination and energy. The "New Retirement" is a new career where you are your own boss.

When do you plan to retire?

The timing of your retirement is important for many reasons. You may have a pension that you can collect after retirement. Working longer can help you earn additional income to make your retirement assets last longer. Or, you may simply want to begin your new possibilities as soon as possible.

What is important to you?

Everybody has a different vision of retirement. Family, hobbies, community, and activities mean different things to different people.

Which of the following are part of your retirement goals?

• Spending more time with my family
• Traveling and new experiences
• Staying active in my community or profession
• Developing new hobbies and activities
• Making a difference with my family, community, and associations
• Leaving a legacy for my family
