Retirement????
2010, 65, our traditional retirement age. What next? For those of us who were always running to finish the next degree, find the next job, get the next promotion, make more money, the prospect is very frightening. What will we do? Play golf? Volunteer? Participate in the activities we never had time to? Travel? Enjoy/help the family?
Most of all, how do we remain relevant and feel relevant?
Recently I watched an interview Syrius XM CEO, Mel Karmazin who said that he didn't know how to "not work". Exactly... but now what? As a middle class, middle manager my options are not as exciting as Mel's.
In watching my peers, my observation is that retired civil service, teachers, state workers, police officers etc seem to be the most content in retirement. Is this true? If so, can anyone explain this?
