When we retire, we are retiring from work, not life. Life should always have a purpose. Retirees can find theirs in various ways. Some may continue to work part time, others may indulge in hobbies and others may give back through volunteer work, charities and church ministries.

We often have to reach out and find those activities that are most fulfilling.

I would be remiss if I did not mention friends and family. Stay connected.

You need a focus on things you enjoy doing and the financial resources to do them and to avoid the stress of inadequate income.

Purpose. Without it life is like spice that’s lost it’s flavor. And try as people might, riches and fame in my observation are inadequate substitutes.

To be doing something you really like that you couldn’t while earning a living. Sometimes these coincide but not often. After spending a working life in international finance I went back to study viticulture and enology and now have my own vineyard and winery. It can be done.
