Reetiring with Fire

Now, for the first time in history, most people can expect to be in “retirement” for 15 to 30 years. It is generally accepted that after the stages of growing up (from birth to age 20) and building a career and family (from age 20 to age 60), retirement is now considered a wonderful new stage called “the Bonus Years.” We have this gift of time, combined with our skills and talents, to create the best stage of life for ourselves.

Book Excerpt

Champion Your Career

The greatest mistake, however, is thinking that our retirement years will be happy and perfect without any planning or preparation. It’s magical thinking that will lead to depression, disappointment, and even declining health. This chapter is about how, when you’re approaching your retirement years, you can reinvent yourself and allow or effect a transformation into a fulfilling new life.

People today have more money at retirement than their parents had and they are living longer and healthier lives. As new retirees we have or will have so many choices available to us that were undreamed of by past generations of senior citizens. For the current and future generations of people leaving the full-time workforce, retirement will not carry the same meaning as in previous generations. This is due in part because of the unique factors mentioned above but also because our generation is much more knowledgeable and sophisticated and has more of an awareness and need to contribute.
