Retirement – Is It In Your Vocabulary?

Retirement should not be in any one’s vocabulary. Going fishing or sitting around knitting may be something you enjoy, but not 7 days a week! It is like saying, “I’m on the list. When my name reaches the top, I’ll be ready to go.”
Keep your brain active. Always wanted to learn more about computers – take a class. Love animals? Volunteer at your local shelter or human society. Those animals are just waiting, wanting a little attention and love. What about getting your favorite candidate elected?
Do you have an RV? Did you know you can travel all over the country, visit places you haven’t seen and get paid for doing it? Yep, you can. Google in the word “workcamper”.
There is interesting work out there. We worked one summer at an amusement park selling T-shirts and souvenirs. It was different and fun. Sad, but true, employers have found that the summer job kids are not reliable and many cannot be trusted.
Keep active and keep learning. Don’t get labeled as an ”elderly senior citizen.”
