Personal Growth and Fulfillment: A Key Ingredient...

When planning for retirement, people generally think about things like estate and financial planning, downsizing, choosing a senior living community, determining what future care may look like and so on. They will also probably think about what they want to do with all their time now that they’re carefree. But while endless rounds of golf, visits with the grandkids and strolling throughout the neighborhood are all wonderful things, the true key to enjoying your time – and your retirement – is

The Key to Developing Meaningful Socialization Dur...

Having meaningful friendships is one of the great pleasures of life. But once our kids leave the nest and we retire from our careers, the opportunities for regular social interaction – and with it, friendships – seem to disappear. In retirement, if we’re not intentional about making connections with people outside our home, it’s very easy to become isolated.  “When we no longer have a mandatory schedule, like shuttling kids back and forth or going to work each day, we’re taken out of our

At every stage of our lives, we require different things from our diet, and often have to change what we eat in order to meet the changing needs of our bodies. When we’re young, our parents help us learn good eating habits, but when we become adults, a nutritious and balanced diet isn’t always a priority for us.  “Remember when you were young and could eat anything without getting sick or

Let’s talk finances. As you plan out your retirement years – whether you’re just beginning or comfortably settling into them – you want to make sure your finances are in such a place that you’re able to live your life the way you want.

“Getting more exercise” is a common New Year’s resolution, and most of us start out the year with a bang. However, as the weeks go by and the cold weather hangs on, it becomes easier and easier to make excuses to not work out. It’s too cold out, or you’re too busy with everything that needs to get done, or it gets dark too early, and so on and so on. We admit – it’s a lot more enjoyable to cuddle up on the couch and watch Netflix instead of lacing up your walking shoes. But staying physically

The Pursuit of Lifelong Learning in Retirement

When it comes to retirement, seniors these days have no intention of slowing down. Instead of treating retirement as a time to sit back and watch the world go by, many of today’s active seniors are choosing instead to turn over a new leaf. It’s not uncommon to hear of seniors taking up activities like hiking, sailing or learning a new language – after all, they finally have the time and the resources to pursue these passions! Not only does this keep life exciting after retirement, it also helps
