I’ve compiled a list of retirement quotes and retirement words of wisdom from those who describe it best!
When I say the word “retirement,” what image pops into your mind? Is it a tropical vacation somewhere? Is it a golf course with friends? Maybe relaxing with your grandkids? Whatever it is, I hope it’s a happy image. Because retirement should be just that — happy, healthy, and wealthy.
You’ve spent the majority of your years planning, saving, and making money by working hard in your career. Your job may have been your passion, but now is the time to seek out new opportunities.
Find new passions that leave you feeling fulfilled even without a paycheck. Create stronger bonds with the people around you. Challenge your body and mind with new and exciting activities.
Use this time to enjoy yourself, and experience what life has to offer outside of the office.
