You might dream of traveling, playing golf, or spending time with the grandchildren when you retire. You’re probably not dreaming about paying on your debt. Ideally, none of us would be worried about debt in our later years. The reality is that half of us will have debt in our retirement years.

Your scheduled retirement day has arrived. You are free to live your life full out NOW. Yes, it’s great to look forward to new adventures, to claim your bucket list items, or to simply exhale reveling in the ability to do nothing at all.
About a week before my last day at work, I was greeted with a surprise red carpet reception. My co-workers really laid it on. The carpet ran from the entrance to my suite of offices to my office door. There were balloons all around. I was presented with a tiara on pillow and a pageant-like sash, that read, “I’m Retired”. Wow! As if that wasn’t enough, my office was decorated with more balloons, streamers and other congratulatory items for a retiree. What a wonderful way to start the day!

When was the last time you felt joyful? What have you done recently that’s contributed to your happiness?
Babs Plunkett is a passionate advocate for positive aging. To help herself and others live joyfully, she became a Life Coach and Certified Professional Retirement Coach. As the best-selling author of Choose Joy: Three Keys to Investing Your Time in Retirement, she interviewed over 100 people across the country, gaining their inspiration and insights on positive aging.
Babs said, “The original source of my passion for aging well was my crabby grandma who moved in with us when I was 13 years old and her unhappy presence made a lifelong impression on me.”
For the next four decades, Babs studied positive aging and paid attention to people who chose joy. She asked those who were living joyfully if they had always been that way. Were they upbeat as a kid or did they decide to be positive? Babs has indicated that she felt genuine relief to learn we’re not destined to crabbiness. Aging well is a choice. We can choose joy.

What are some indicators of wealth you had growing up?
A friend asked me that question recently.
At first, I thought It’s all about money, Millions and billions of dollars. If you define wealth as living in a mansion, owning a private jet and having a personal banker at your beck and call then my family was definitely not wealthy. If you describe wealth as having enough food and clothing, comfortable housing, and loving parents then I experienced wealth growing up as well as continued the happy family life with my own kids. The reality is, that your interpretation of wealth is unique to you.
Think about your ideas about money when you were in your twenties or thirties compared to your fifties and sixties. The amount of cash, also known as money, is the greatest measure of success, wealth, and a fabulous life in our society. However, counting your cash, flaunting it or even hording it does not guarantee happiness or fulfillment.
For that, you need to build relationships with family and friends, find hobbies and interests to explore or purpose your purpose. Spend your retirement years using your cash to enjoy the life it can provide. Ask yourself, how can I serve rather than how much cash do I have?

“Before anything great is really achieved, your comfort zone must be disturbed.”
Are you cheating yourself or holding yourself back due to fear or getting too comfortable? As you move through your 2nd or 3rd Act or 4th Quarter, open yourself to change, try new things, get out of your comfort zone.
The following are two quotes from anonymous, for your consideration:
“By leaving your comfort zone behind and taking a leap of faith into something new, you find out who you are truly capable of becoming.”
“Feel the fear and do it anyway.”

Have you ever noticed that certain people seem to be content and in control all the time? It seems as if stressful situations bounce off of them rather than knock them down. Even in retirement they appear happy, joyful and free. It’s never too late for you to have contentment in your life as well.
First, you need to start identifying what you want… and why you believe you will be happier if you have it. Will it really make you happy? Or will you just get it, have a temporary period of happiness, and then start desiring something else? After you identify your desires, the next step is to find out if they are YOUR desires or if you’ve been programmed to think you want them.
The good news is you have a choice. Happiness is a choice! You can learn to control your emotions so you can feel good NOW, no matter what’s going on in your life. I know, this sounds really hard. When things are going on around you that are painful or scary or stressful, it can be hard to find your footing and remember that there are things you can do to be happy in the moment while creating contentment for the longer term.
