Retirement
Many perceive retirement as the top rung of the ladder; you can finally stop climbing and enjoy the view! You may hesitate, however, realizing that the view comes with a new set of responsibilities: providing for your family on a limited income, going from working full time to having time on your hands and learning to live with your spouse 24/7. Despite the unknowns, there €™s much to look forward to: enjoying grandchildren, exploring hobbies, traveling and revitalizing your marriage. Retirement can be an invigorating opportunity for renewal and reflection. Your outlook determines your attitude. Face the years ahead with a new perspective.
