Top Ten Ways to Think Outside the Retirement Box
Are you willing
to look beneath the surface of the external aspects of your retirement
(how much money will you have, where will you live, etc.) and fully
explore your dreams and desires? If so, you'll discover the many
wonderful opportunities and options that are open to you, and embark on
the most extraordinary journey of your life.
Here are ten tips to get you started thinking outside the old retirement
box:
1. Don't let someone else's definition of retirement define
retirement for you. You can start by casting off the outdated belief
that retirement is a permanent rest stop.
2. Put yourself squarely in the driver's seat. You decide when
and how you retire, and who you will be.
3. Turn the old retirement model on its head. Plan the life you
want to be living. Then, figure out how much money you'll need to live
it.
4. Answer the question: "What's enough"? You may find you need a
lot less than you think and can retire sooner.
5. Don't put off retirement because others (aging/ailing parents,
adult children) are dependent on you. Keeping your life on hold supports
no one.
6. Write a personal mission statement that expresses who you are,
what you'd like to do, and where you'd like to go.
7. Ignite your personal mission statement into action, and pursue
your goals with gusto.
8. Think of retirement as your next career stage. Write that
book, start a business, or...you fill in the blank.
9. Come up with creative ways to combine living your passion with
generating income. Think in terms of both active and passive revenue
streams.
10. Change your approach, shift your thinking, and get a fresh
perspective. The future you dream of will never be yours as long as
you're stuck in old ways of being.
