Will You Work While Retired – What is Your Plan
This article is really aimed at the folks who are about to retire. Whether it is a planned retirement date or you are being forced to retire or you need to retire due to health reasons. Now is the time to give some thought about what you will do once retired.
Some people will be able to walk into another job pretty quickly. While many will struggle for a variety of reasons as mentioned in the survey results. If you do not have a plan before you retire, there is a high probability you will not be working in retirement.
Develop a plan now. Will you volunteer which leads to networking opportunities and potential employment? Will you start your own business? Do you have a business plan? Can you prepare for your business now? If you have sufficient income, there may not be as much pressure to work. Boredom will motivate you into looking for work.
If income is an issue once you enter retirement, then a plan is definitely needed. The plan needs to take into account how much money you need per year. What kind of job you can find and how many hours a week you need to work at the appropriate income level. Lower incomes mean you work longer etc.
Part-time work is also good for many people. You may have the best of both worlds. Part-time work ensures that you still have time to enjoy the family and hobbies. You also have the extra income you need from part-time work. And you also have the social side of work which is a big plus for many people once they leave the workforce.
Make that plan now!
