CONGRATS. For me, retirement meant - resetting what had been with what will be. I can't imagine actually sitting around doing very little or nothing at all. A death sentense if you ask me. That's just me. I embrace the change, while it is scary. At first it seems attractive. Then the reality kicks in. And OMG, that is NOT attractive at all. Brain diminishing activities. Surrounded by only the old. NO WAY!!! Give me communities filled with people of all ages, all life experiences, dogs and other pets, all bumping into each other, sharing unique stories! Lack of community involving all ages in the grand scheme - Getting shunned NOPE. Not doing that. NO WAY, BABY! Let's get back to how it was just a couple of decades ago. The elders were the wise ones, the escape route for children whose parents could take no more, the seekers of truth. Let's bring that all back. Because WE ARE WISE! We know stuff. We may not desire to ever work for another human being again. BUT we are at our most creative. We CAN build successful businesses, focused on the NICHES that best reflect our SPECIAL TALENTS. DO NOT let go of these things. Embrace this new chapter with all that you have got! Rooting for you, myself, and our community here!

@Laurie Mishmash right, let's all take responsibility in our current roles, have fun, help the younger ones, make it a win-win for everyone! This is our responsibility. We can't blame others. We have the know-how. Let's do it.

Retirement? Listen to me if you will, @Laurie Mishmash. Retirement is just the beginning of the rest of your life. Reset. Evaluate. Begin the next and best chapter of your life! Follow me. I know what I am talking about. Let me know how I can help you expand your thinking, expand your dreams.

@Laurie Mishmash that is great to hear!!!

Thank you @Laurie Mishmash
