Book Excerpt

Champion Your Career

We no longer want to “retreat” or “withdraw” into endless days of leisurely activities that yield little meaning or purpose. Many people in their 50’s and 60’s are looking for a kind of “renaissance,” to discover what gives their lives true meaning outside of their work life. Many consider travel abroad for pleasure, educational opportunities, or to better the world by volunteering at the different international agencies that are available. Others will volunteer locally to make a difference in social services with which they feel a kinship, both as a way to contribute and also as a way to stay connected to a larger community—a goal that is vital to anyone who wants to remain healthy throughout their retirement years.

Many men and women plan to keep working—for a variety of reasons—well into their late 60s and 70s. Some retirees will gradually leave the full-time workforce and decrease their hours for an employer. Some will choose to become consultants, working whenever and as much as they wish. Others will seek out educational opportunities to expand their knowledge or take up a new hobby, This chapter will help you retire successfully so that you can have a satisfying life after you leave the nine-to-five work-a-day world.
