Retirement
today: the new retirement
The whole notion of retirement has radically
changed. Formerly, we thought of retirement as the beginning
of the end - degeneration; today we think of retirement
as a new beginning - rejuvenation. It is actually
the beginning of a new career/life stage called 'renewal'
- a time to let go, move on, learn and adapt to inevitable
change.
In addition, while many of us would like to retire early, the
pensions crisis and financial worries may postpone it. But
retirement doesn’t have to mean the end of working altogether:
a different approach to work can play a vital role in our new
retirement – and overcome any financial concerns.

When approaching
retirement or any change
of direction, it requires the same
process of self-analysis and consultation as you would
go through with a career change. This is the time to look at all your options and discover what it is you really want. Ask yourself:
How do I feel about retirement?
Am I aware of what's really important to
me now?
What do I want to do with my retirement?
What are my expectations?
How do my expectations match my partners?
What lifestyle changes do I want/need
to make?
In other words ... How do I create a lifestyle that is fulfilling, purposeful and rewarding?
