Setting Aside Some Time For Thought!
Most people start thinking about retirement in their early 50's. Some People start earlier than that. Some people wait until the day they're leaving a job they've had for the past 30 years.
It doesn't matter at what point you are, the first thing you must understand, is that you need to set aside some time for thought!
Whether you worked at raising a family or went out to work at a job each day, working has provided you with certain rewards throughout the years.
A sense of accomplishment, belonging, social interaction and structure. And for most of us, a paycheck and most likely healthcare coverage.
How will your life change once your retired and how will you choose to replace what once was how you defined yourself and your life?
