BABY BOOMERS REJECT AND REDEFINE RETIREMENT
Today’s Retirement Situation—The Hard Truth
A majority of those approaching retirement have not thought about what happens after their career comes to an end because the idea of losing one’s identity is frightening. Many of life’s big transitions are scripted for us and follow an established progression from one stage to the next. In school, we progressed from kindergarten to elementary, from middle to high school and the next step for some was college. In the corporate world, you climb the ladder from supervisor to manager, director, VP, President, and then the C-suite. If you’re in the military, you rise through the ranks in proper order. But now that you are approaching an unscripted part of your life, you have the opportunity to direct what you will do with the rest of your life. Do you have a plan for what you’ll do with your time? Will it provide you with fulfillment and purpose?
