These days everyone is talking about retirement and saving up for it and what they will get accomplished once they do retire.
Seriously though you really need to look at the 3 steps on how not to retire if you value your longevity.
What is it that we are actually retiring from? Is it your job or retiring from life? It has been proven that man has a natural will and want for accomplishment and this feeling disappears once the majority of the western world retires.
How many times have you heard about a colleague who was going great guns and then they retired, felt useless and dropped off the perch.
There has to be purpose in your life, a reason to wake up and get excited.
So lets look at the 3 steps on how NOT to retire so we can keep everyone's longevity in tact, their feeling of belonging and a reason to get out of bed in the morning all at the top of the list.
Step 1 Option Keep your mind active - you do not have to be at a job to keep you going these days.
There are so many ways to keep you feeling accomplished especially with the options available on the internet.
So if you have the commitment and drive you can now change your profession to self published author.

There are many people in the world that have never had a traditional job and have been self motivated and in business for themselves their whole career.
Step 2 Option Start your own home based business.
Age is no barrier when it comes to being an entrepreneur in this day and age.
The guy who started Wal-Mart in America was in his late 40's when that adventure started.
Step 3 Option Not being retired doesn't necessarily mean you have to do an income generating activity.
I watched the news last night and there was an elderly lady over 80, who has volunteered at her local hospital for the last 30 years.
I do believe she is not retired, so if there is anything you have ever wanted to get involved in or passionate about, now is the time to do it.
If you combine all of the 3 Steps on the how not to retire options list, you will live a full, exciting and long retirement or is that not retirement, I am not sure.
To your success!
