RETIREMENT QUOTES IV

quotations about retirement

I don't have a retirement plan
Just a hundred acre piece of black dirt land
And a red tractor sittin' in the shed

Get a gold watch and your work is done
One month later your heart give out
What was all that planning about?

Before you think of retiring from the world, be sure you are fit for retirement; in order to do which, it is necessary that you have a mind so composed by prudence, reason, and religion, that it may bear being looked into.

What's the best age to retire? It's a question countless workers ask themselves every day. Pinpointing the right retirement age isn't easy, as each choice comes with its own consequences. Leave the workforce at 62, for example, and you'll slash your Social Security benefits should the need arise to claim them right away. But, you'll also get more years of payments, not to mention the ability to enjoy some downtime when you're younger and are apt to have more energy.

Is retirement dead? It's a scary question, especially if you're currently working hard with hopes of kicking back, relaxing and enjoying spending your time anywhere but an office one day. But we think the answer is yes, traditional retirement is going away even if it hasn't died out completely quite yet.

There are some evils to which a life of retirement is exposed, the principal of which are idleness, humor, conceit, incivility, churlishness, and misanthropy.

The days grow longer for smaller prizes
I feel a stranger to all surprises
You can have them I don't want them
I wear a different kind of garment
In my rehearsals for retirement

Retirement is a field of clover, but by the time you reach it, you're too old to climb the fence.

One final rule about retirement is that you need an actual plan, regardless of age, for how you'll spend your days. If your goal is to start a business, make sure it's a feasible idea, and start laying the groundwork before retirement so you're able to dive right in and stay occupied once you leave your primary job. If you're expecting to work part-time to not just cover your bills in retirement, but give yourself someplace to go during the day, do some research and make sure local businesses are hiring. Finally, if your goal is to enjoy your leisure time and not work at all, come up with a concrete list of things you actually want to do. Maybe you're hoping to travel, or take a class at your local community college. You're more likely to wind up content in retirement if you go in having already figured out what you'll be doing with all of that time.
