Five Questions from Retirement Reformation

In his book, Retirement Reformation, Bruce Bruinsma, poses a number of crucial questions to consider for retirement planning purposes. Here are some of them to think through.

What are you going to do? Potentially you will have 10, 20, or even 30 years of retirement. Will you design a new lifestyle, establish a new routine, set new goals?
Where are you going to do it? Many retirees downsize. Others move closer to family. Some move to a retirement community. Some sell everything and travel in an RV or move to Mexico.
Who are you going to do it with? You need other people in your life. The author maintains that "As we grow older, our world shrinks. Friends die, move away or become incapacitated. Expanding our community, not shrinking it, is a priority for aging."
How are you going to finance it? The author notes that "Surveys show that 75% of people in retirement age are anxious about money. Some are anxious about not having enough. Others are driven crazy by trying to manage and balance multiple streams of income."
What is most important to me in retirement? "Retirement has given you freedom from many things. What is retirement giving you the freedom to do, and how will you do it?

Additional Considerations on Relocating in Retirement

The obvious: Pray/seek God's guidance. While some Scripture passages speak well of old age, there is no retirement plan like one reads about in Kiplingers or Money magazine. King David died in a palace (but with a bit of strife within his family). Moses died somewhere in Moab (not the Promised Land). Mary (mother of Jesus) was given to the care of the disciple Jesus loved (probably John). The Apostle John may have died in Patmos (maybe in a cave). Paul and Peter did not have a Kiplingers' retirement. Enoch's last days sound a bit more appealing. If you like hot rods or roller coasters - Elijah. I suspect that, back in Biblical times, there were more conventional ways for people to live their senior years, and for most of us, our retirements will be reasonably traditional within our times. But, with God, there's an element of faith. More secular thoughts: - If possible, ...

Finding Your Calling in Retirement

What does "calling" mean when the 9-to-5 is behind us? At a recent meeting of our retired men’s group, we explored this critical and sometimes challenging question: What is our calling in retirement? For much of our lives, our calling may have been closely tied to our careers. But when our job titles retire along with us, our sense of purpose doesn’t—and shouldn’t—go with them. Instead, retirement offers a unique opportunity to revisit and redefine our calling for this new stage of life. Four Questions to Discern Your Retirement Calling A helpful framework presented in our session centered on four questions—developed initially to guide vocational choices—but equally applicable as we reflect on our next chapter: What does the world need? Retirement doesn’t mean retreat. There are still needs all around us—family members, neighbors, church, nonprofits—places where our presence, wisdom, and availability can make a difference. What do you ...

Perspectives on Social Interaction, Community, and Friendships

Scientific research has concluded that ongoing, close relationships are cognitively and emotionally critical, especially as we age. Beyond science, Christian theologians, pastors, and authors have recognized the requirement of relationships for centuries. I have sought helpful perspectives from various sources to highlight the vital nature of relationships and community. Scientific Research: · Sanjay Gupta: Writes in “Keep Sharp: Build a Better Brain at Any Age,” “It turns out that people who are more socially connected to family, to friends, to community, are happier, they’re physically healthier, and they live longer than people who are less well connected.” · Robert Waldinger : In “The Good Life: Lessons from the World's Longest Scientific Study of Happiness,” describes his research and says, “Loneliness is associated with being more sensitive to pain, suppression of the immune system, diminished brain ...
