Countdown to Retirement: Do You Know What You'll Do When You Retire?
b'
The topic of this episode of the Ready for Retirement podcast is the 3rd question in the Countdown to Retirement series: \\u201cDo you know what you\\u2019ll do when you retire?\\u201d\\xa0
This can be an overwhelming question to contemplate at the end of a long career, when you\\u2019ve spent your entire life up to that point pushing towards the \\u201cnext thing\\u201d, and you don\\u2019t have to have the answer right now, but hopefully this episode will help you narrow down your thought process.\\xa0
Perhaps you have spent your life in the same town for decades and your children have moved to another part of the country; consider packing up and moving somewhere new for your retirement years, maybe close to your children/grandchildren.\\xa0
Or you could stay put and commit to traveling. You could look into getting a fulfilling part-time job or volunteer position with an organization you are passionate about.\\xa0
You could sign up for some exercise classes or a new sports league to make that a part of your routine. Pursuing educational endeavors such as becoming a mentor, taking a class, reading, or writing a book or blog could be helpful in prolonging your health span and preventing cognitive decline.\\xa0
No matter what you plan to do, you would likely find it helpful to take a breather at the beginning of retirement to get used to living on a fixed income. Think about these things now so you feel like you are retiring into something, not just out of something.
Tune back in next week for the final part of this Countdown to Retirement series!
