Course detail: Retirement: How to Do It Right

Course Description: 

Retiring is an exciting time. We look forward to the time and freedom to do what we want. But it is also an unknown. After a 20, 30, or even 40-year career, we leave not only a job but co-workers and our routine. After retirement, an incredible silence ensues. For our entire life, someone or something requires us to attend school, get a job, or go to work to pay the bills. Now our schedule and purpose can become a series of daunting choices. 

Together, we will examine finances, relationships, adjusting to retirement, our health (physical, emotional, social and spiritual), and how to continue to fulfill our purpose. Finally, we will lay out a blueprint for before, during and after retirement to follow so you can enjoy your well-earned retirement in a fun and purposeful way.
