HOW TO CREATE THE PERFECT RETIREMENT
Ah, retirement. That time of life that our culture describes as ‘the golden years’ is a period when we should be able to enjoy all that we have earned. For many of us, retirement has been the goal we’ve been working towards for the majority of our adult lives. We have kept it in sight like a beacon that keeps us going when we’ve felt that we just can’t stand another day of work. We have made sacrifices to make sure we can retire when the time is right. We’ve learned that some things are not as important as knowing that we’ll be able to take care of ourselves and our spouse or loved ones once we retire.
Like many, you have a very good idea about how you want to spend your retirement years and you know that you will enjoy yourself. You don’t worry about being bored with days upon days without work to fill them – in fact, you have so much planned for your retirement that you can’t imagine how you will get it all done!
Or, retirement may have come earlier than you expected due to health issues, family issues, or changes in the economy and your workplace. You may find yourself thrust into a change that you were not necessarily prepared to make. Now you’re wondering what to do with your days that you never thought you’d have free at this age. You may be concerned for yourself and your family and anxious about whether or not you will be able to meet their needs.
No matter what the reason for your retirement, with some thought and creativity, you can truly make these the best years of your life. Allowing yourself to explore what’s possible will help you keep a positive attitude about your retirement years.
There are people who retire and find that they have more to do in a day than they ever could have thought possible. They may find themselves with full schedules and fulfilling lives, wondering, ‘how did I ever find time to do anything when I had a full-time job?’ They will be planned, organized, and ready to jump with both feet into the world of retirement.
But for many others, retirement will come as a shock. After the initial bliss of freedom wears off, they will find it difficult to live without the structure that a work life imposed upon their daily activities. They may feel restless or anxious.
In our eBook, How to Create the Perfect Retirement, we will examine what you need to know about yourself as you come closer to the end of your working career, and we’ll look at whether or not you are truly ready for retirement. We’ll think about where you might get ‘stopped’ in making your retirement dreams come true, and what else you might need to do to prepare for retirement.
Then we’ll talk about whether or not you are financially ready for retirement. We’ll think about what you need in retirement, versus what you want in retirement, and how to come to an arrangement that you can afford financially while still retiring as soon as possible.
For some retirees, the idea of not working is hard to imagine. So we’ll look at ways that you can still make a contribution to the workplace or to your community as a retiree. If you want to keep working, there are a number of options to explore. Whether you want to earn a part-time income, a full-time income, or maybe even start your own business, we’ll look at those possibilities.
If you want to continue contributing to your community without actually having a job, there are many different ways to make a difference. We’ll examine ways you can have a positive impact on others that don’t involve having a ‘job.’
Next, we will look at what other aspects of your retirement you may want to create. Across several chapters, we’ll explore what is important to you not just in retirement, but also in the remainder of your life. Once you know what you want your ideal retirement life to look like, we’ll identify any skills, habits, or structures you might want to learn in order to make sure that you have all of the tools you need to create the retirement that you want.
Beyond what you know you want to pursue right away, we will also expand the conversation to talk about what’s possible for you, and what, among all of those possibilities, might bring you the greatest enjoyment. You might finally take those dance lessons you have always wanted to try, or finally take that trip to Italy that you’ve dreamed about ever since you first saw ‘Roman Holiday.’
No matter what, our eBook will help you not only to dream about what you might do when you retire, but it will help you to identify how to make sure that you can turn that dream into a reality.
