Retirement as a Second Life

Retirement has evolved into a second life, offering more time for new projects and passions. Many people are turning to hobbies, second careers, and volunteering after retirement. However, there is no need to wait until retirement to pursue these interests. With increased life expectancy, retirement can be used as a reference frame to determine how to spend time now.

Dreaming of retirement helps you fantasize about your ideal life—and potentially have it now

Imagine your retirement.

Are you picturing long, lazy days on a tropical beach under coconut trees? Maybe you’ve opted for a life of adventure, traveling to all the places you haven’t been to yet. Perhaps the science fiction novel you’ve always wanted to write is finally pouring out of you. You might spend all your time volunteering for a social or political cause. Or maybe you even go back to work, but in a very different field than before.
