Successful ageing and retirement planning
Your life in retirement will be successful based on how you have aged to date. If you are free from disability and disease now then it is likely that you will continue to be well and thrive, although perhaps at a slower pace. If you are physically and mentally active then it is likely that you will continue to be active. And how social you are now predicts how social you will continue to be as you grow older. So with all these predictions for a healthy life what are you doing to plan how you will continue to live, fit, active and engaged with your family and community? For example, if you play sport such as tennis, you may experience decreased speed and power. So to continue to play tennis, you may work to emphasise and perfect a specific shot and enhance your accuracy to compensate for loss of power. What about your approach to work? Are you wanting to slow down and perhaps step down from a responsible and demanding role, yet not stop work altogether? Retirement planning can help you decide on the roles and hours you want to work at and set your career towards those plans. How do you plan to support your community? Perhaps you will seek a board or committee position and contribute your skills developed over your life to date. Or perhaps you will volunteer the hours and times to suit your other interests. Retirement planning is more than having the finances you need as you grown older. You need to plan your lifestyle also.
