Real Life Retirement's goal is to help you make the most of
your retirement. You will learn about the many options you have after leaving a primary career
--whether retiring at 55 or 65 or 75. It is an
outgrowth of the actual real life experiences of myself, my friends
and acquaintances. We are resourceful people who have
sometimes made non-traditional choices and believe that fun and
money and good health should go hand in hand at all ages.
It is also an outgrowth of
a lot of misperceptions and false images of what
"retiring" really is. The image so often
presented is that retirees sit in the sun, take daily
walks, do a little volunteer work or maybe a hobby and
visit the grandchildren from time to time.
Instead,
retirement these days can be the beginning of a new phase of
life, one that includes personal growth, new ideas and
exploration of the world--quite often free from heavy
financial responsibilities.
