Traditional Retirement is Dead

- When our parents retired they just tried to live a simple life. They just wanted to keep their heads down and spend as little as possible are not have to worry too much. But today people want to travel and see the world and really enjoy life in their retirement. So we need to reframe how we think about retiring.
I teach part-time for a community college. So, I am semi-retired. My work is enjoyable & meaningful. It's also nice to have some extra $$. When I'm ready to retire completely I'll do that.
My wife went from full time teaching to doing some online teaching. She misses the kids (a little) but likes not having to go to work. She would be able to down here in Puerto Rico right now if she had to go to work everyday.
haha so true!! I get this all the time. Spot on advice. People who think retiring is just sitting on the beach doin nothing will never retire.
Thanks! The new retirement is working for fun.
😂
@@TheRetirementality 100% spot on
As always, thank you for giving some thoughtful real life advice.
Hey! Thanks Bob. I felt like this video was a little "stream or consciousness" I had like 3 different ideas in my brain when I started. But, hopefully people get some value from it.
@@TheRetirementality I’m a couple years from retirement and so it’s starting to sink in a little. Time flies and I find value in your videos. Keep up the good work!
If myself and my fellow nurses could just decree that we are retired and let's say 90% of our salaries will be paid until we take our last breath even though we stopped going to work and put that decree down on a piece of paper and show it to everyone as a document then we will be paid without having to go to work isn't that correct? Or would our retirement proclamations be rejected as insane by the very people that have declared that they will retire and receive their salaries for life without working ?
Would those delicious retirements be direct deposited into our accounts every month ? Or would we be humiliated and arrested as outrageous anarchists for coming up with such a " out there" idea. Oh well, I can't talk about it with all my retired government employee relatives because their attitudes are "hey, people can't change the world. God made society into those that "have" retirement, and those that don't "have it." " It's just the natural order of things " I'm sure people had the same attitudes about slavery down through the ages.
My brother works in a hospital and they just went on strike last week. They can only strike for a week though and I think that takes the sting out of the strike. So I'd say it's going to be an uphill battle for you. 😁
That’s what we plan to do. Stop working for corporate America and volunteer and spend time on passion projects.
Get ready for the comment section to tell you that you aren't really retired 😂
