In addition to opportunity and challenge, retirement for most of us also means freedom and an era in which to follow our chosen pursuits. It is probably the first time in our lives when we control our daily, weekly, monthly and yearly timetable and, most importantly, we get to choose the content.
The Monday to Friday grind is over as are weekends in the traditional sense; the week becomes a continuous rollover. We believe that it is a time for careful assessment of our future needs and preparation to achieve our personal goals. Given an adequate income and good health, the opportunities facing retirees are virtually infinite.
We can study a multitude of subjects, take up new hobbies and interests or become more involved in existing ones. We can start a chosen second career or volunteer our services to some of the many and varied organisations which help within our communities.
This new found freedom means that we have more time to spend with our families and friends, perhaps giving them the benefit of our lifetime experiences or helping them in a more practical fashion while they are still caught up in the daily grind of work coupled with domestic responsibilities.
