Retirement Resources
Retirement is a complex topic, and your goal should be to retire well, not just retire. The retirement process goes beyond simply completing your paperwork and turning out the lights as you leave the building. Retiring well means focused preparation for the different stages of your retirement long before you sign the papers.
Having a plan for what you expect to do after retiring is just as important as knowing how the retirement process works and what is provided by your pension system. Make sure you’ve identified the various stages of retirement and are creating plans to help you be prepared. The Retirement Resources below will provide you with information, ideas, and suggestions on how to plan to retire well beginning with the pre-retirement stage on through the pre-65 and post-65 retirement phases. As with anything new, you will have questions and concerns about aspects of retirement living that weren’t in any handbook or seminar. Trusted advisors and resources, such as those provided by your retiree association, will continue to be important to you and your family. Begin now and build a network to assist you with these issues.
