Ever questioned the conventional norms of retirement? It's time to flip the script and embrace the concept of 'unretirement'! We challenge age-old traditions and redefine retirement as not an end, but a transition into an exciting new chapter brimming with purpose and enrichment. Get inspired by my own journey into 'unretirement' and the lessons I've learned about staying active, engaging with new social connections, and maintaining a sense of purpose. 

Take a deep dive into the intriguing idea of a 'portfolio life', where different aspects of life take precedence at different times, keeping you stimulated and engaged as you traverse this new phase. 

As we reframe retirement, we also discuss the significance of financial planning and why ongoing learning never goes out of style. It's not merely about surviving your retirement years but thriving and growing as an individual. So, tune in, and let's explore how you can approach your next chapter with gusto and a fresh perspective. Buckle up for this journey of unretirement and discover a new vision for your life!

We'll dive deeper into these concepts:

• The importance of reframing retirement
• The traditional model of retirement
• The concept of “unretirement”
• Modern Elder Academy’s Reframing Retirement course
