Retirement can be a hard thing to visualize and think about, but it’s important to have a plan in place. It may feel like a whole career’s worth of work will just disappear, but it doesn’t have to with the right safeguards and strategies in place.
You can even stay involved and licensed so that you can stay connected to your colleagues and keep up with what’s going on in your profession. However, set limits with any continuing work so that you have time to follow you dreams—be it staying active in the community, travelling with your spouse, or building model trains or soap box derby cars.
