Summary of Working and Living in Retirement
It’s no wonder people need a guide to living in retirement; it has changed many times in the last few hundred years. From working till death, to dying within a few years after retiring, to the challenge of making your money last 20 or 30 years, retirement is not what it used to be. Add to that the other challenges, such as staying healthy and busy--and working--and retirement starts to seem like a full-time job.
Practical Ideas I Can Start with Today
- Get my Social Security benefits report so I can determine how much I can expect to receive during retirement.
- Consult with a financial planner as to what I can expect to withdraw each year from my retirement savings, and how I can coordinate these withdrawals with my anticipated Social Security benefits.
- Determine what if any retirement income shortfall I will need to make up through part- or full-time employment.
- Investigate the various retirement jobs or careers that might be possible, practical and enjoyable for me.
