Retirement plans you can implement now

So you’re 65 and you’re just now thinking about how you’re going to spend your retirement? You are not alone. over 40% of Americans have not considered how they will spend their time in retirement. So, while you were meeting with your investment advisor and saving money, paying off the mortgage and getting the kids through college retirement just snuck up behind you. Let’s talk about how you want to spend all that lovely leisure time now.

Turn that hobby into a cottage business

Take up a new interest

Make videos for your children, grandchildren, friends or relatives

Reach out to old friends (or long lost family)

Volunteer

Mentor a younger person

Grow something

Consider your legacy and start to work on ways that your values, beliefs, and caring can be passed on to others. Time is the greatest gift and it is so precious because it it limited. Give freely of your time and your heart (and possibly even wallet) will be fuller.
