Seniors

Very similar to a career plan, minus the job.

You will have multiple ongoing needs. Brainstorm on paper all the different ways you will meet them.
- Need for financial security - home, spending money, ability to do things you want, meet the bills.
- Need for meaning - this is a biggie
- Need for mental stimulation - another biggie
- Need for interaction with others, meeting new people
- Need for novelty/amusement, to avoid boredom - doing new things
- Need for physical activity


These needs alternate, but will be with you every day for the rest of your life. The time I spent doing this planning was well worth it. I can look back on my list from several years ago and most of it holds up. In same cases you will revise your goals.

Good luck. I love being retired!
