Expert Retirement Advice – Interview with Ron Manheimer
“I think it’s important [for people]to dream a little bit about what they want to do next…”
Ron Manheimer
Ron Manheimer knows a thing or two about retirement, retirees and the issues involved in starting a new life in a new location. In addition to having been a professor of philosophy, Ron spent a number of years as the director of older adult education for the National Council of Aging and is not only a founding member of the nationally recognized North CarolinaCenter for Creative Retirement in Asheville, NC but was its Executive Director for 21 years from 1988 to 2009.
Ron is a retiree himself having recently stepped down from his position as Executive Director at the NCCCR but he continues to be an internationally recognized speaker, educator and researcher offering his extensive experience and advice about retirement and relocation issues to everyone from groups of future retirees to major corporations. Ron has even begun his own consulting firm, the Manheimer Group which you can contact at www.ronmanheimer.com.
Recently, Places of Value was lucky to have Bob sit down and interview Ron by phone about all the common and uncommon things people need to be aware when they start thinking about retiring and relocating.
Among the many topics Bob and Ron discussed were the 5 key considerations retirees should take into account when planning to relocate, the common mistakes, or as Ron states, “learning opportunities” that arise when retirees decide to relocate, finding a smooth transition to life in a new community, developing criteria for finding a new community, solutions to the stress involved in relocating and the 9 phases of retirement planning.
