Keen On Retirement™

Do you remember The Bucket List, the 2007 movie starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman? It popularized the idea of coming up with a list of things to do and places to see before your days are done. Whether it’s skydiving, attending a lion safari in Tanzania, or some other adventure, a bucket list became a way to set a goal around achieving certain life experiences.

Today, we’ll explore these questions and a few more as we take a look at what other people are saying about retirement and whether we think they’re correct…or just misguided.

Imagine if you were given the gift of 10 extra healthy years. What would you do with that time? You might be able to travel and see more of the world. You might be able to spend more time with your kids, grandkids, and even great grandkids. You might be able to make a bigger impact on the areas of life that are most important to you.

Nobody likes to look back on life and feel regret. And with that in mind, here are a few common regrets I hear from retirees. My hope is by sharing what other people have regretted, we can learn from them and avoid these regrets in our life.

Retirement is one of the most significant life transitions people make. Going from working to leisure can be exhilarating, yet scary at the same time.
