Honest question. When you began contemplating retirement did it scare you a bit?
I am struggling pulling the cord. Im 62, healthy, have a few hobbies and have grandkids in the area. But still a little worried about keeping busy and having focus. It’s just going to be a whole new phase of life and I’m having a hard time coming to terms. |

We are simple people....no extravagance in our lives. Like BRC having Medicare A & B along with the supplemental part G actually is better than the Medical I had at my present employer. (We chose to go with Medicare this year instead of the company insurance which was more expensive) |

I just hope to retire some day and hope this emerging mindset on how we should enjoy working and should work until we die is not a thing that becomes popular. I've got about 30 years to go so yeah I am pretty nervous about it. |

For those worried about having enough to do, there's a great national website, volunteermatch.org. Assuming you live in a decent sized area you'll likely find plenty of needs to serve.
