How to Thrive in Retirement
Most people assume life will be great after they stop working because they have enough money. But it takes more than just money to thrive in retirement. In fact, it is the non-financial things that need the most nurturing (relationships, health, identity, and purpose). But, most people do not have a plan much less a strategy on how to thrive in retirement.
While financial stability is important, to thrive in retirement you must also plan for how you want to live your life. For some, it is a time to embark on a new adventure and for others, it may be a time to slow down and relax. The important point is that you find it fulfilling. So, rather than spend the rest of your life on weekend mode, focus on the retirement lifestyle you want to pursue, and plan for it.
Retirement Life Planning
Financial savings are a crucial component of retirement planning, but it shouldn’t be the sole focus. In fact, there’s a non-financial factor that’s even more important: how you see yourself living once you no longer work. Retirement life planning is about designing the lifestyle that will provide you with the same, or greater fulfillment than work did. In other words, it is now necessary to become very clear about what is important to you at this time in your life.
Maya Angelou said it best, “My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, humor, and some style.” Remember, there is no cookie cutter definition of retirement, not these days. You get one chance to make retirement extraordinary. So, plan for, and work towards, the life you wish to lead.
