As we become adults, we think retirement is a long way off. It seems hard to save for and even harder to think about stopping work.
And even if we love our jobs, eventually we are all faced with the option or the unexpected need to retire, sometimes because of health, or because a family member needs us, or because our employer no longer does.

Why people go back to work after retiring
However, many people don’t know what to expect in retirement. They imagine all the things they will do yet sadly within 6 – 18 months, they are drifting and looking for something to inspire them. Drifting without any purpose and without a plan for their days and months. Naturally many drift back to where they last had a purpose: work.
Don’t waste your remaining years cycling between work and retirement because you lack a purpose. Instead, be intentional about what You Want from the last years of your life. What do you want to do, how do you want to be remembered, how can you make a difference? How can you find a new purpose? We can help you find those answers.
