[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 1073151, member: 7966"] I noticed that there are several people who plan to retire in the next year and I thought I would post my approach and preparation for retirement which I am executing as I post this: [h=1]When you retire, you have to replace 3 things that UPS gives you now. 1) A sense of COMMUNITY 2) A STRUCTURE to your day 3) A sense of PURPOSE I seriously suggest buying this book and prepare for the emotional side of retirement. [URL="http://www.amazon.com/How-Retire-Happy-Wild-Free/dp/096941949X"]http://www.amazon.com/How-Retire-Hap.../dp/096941949X[/URL] I will am doing Photography myself. I spent 3 years preparing for retirement and as I enter retirement from UPS, I will be: 1) Teaching at a local college in the Adult Continuing Education department. 2) President of the local Photography club 3) Serve on the North Georgia Camera Council 4) Travel to other clubs and critique their monthly photo review/contests 5) Lead Photography workshops (Tetons, Appalachians and Gulf Coast) 6) Execute photography jobs I credit this book (and my common sense) in having a full and robust retirement that I can ease into and keep myself in a positive frame of mind and a sense of purpose. I think it is important that every retiree consider these things so they don't wind up as a statistic of "another retiree dead within 2 years".[/h] [/QUOTE]
