Retirement Should be an Adventure!

Retirement is often seen as a time to slow down and take it easy.

It's a time to relax, travel, and enjoy the fruits of your labor. But this traditional approach to retirement is based on outdated and patronizing views of aging. It assumes that as we get older, we become weaker and less capable. It suggests that retirement is about winding down and playing it safe because retirees are too frail for anything else.

But the reality is that retirement can be a time of great adventure and personal growth.

With more time, money, resources, and wisdom than ever before, retirees have the opportunity to pursue their dreams and make a lasting impact on the world. They can take risks, try new things, and live life on their own terms.

The problem is that many retirees fall victim to the Retirement Myth...

... the belief that a successful retirement is about pulling back and doing less. They buy into the false idea that retirees need to be bubble-wrapped and that fulfillment comes from doing, achieving, and becoming less after you stop working.

But this is a dangerous and limiting mindset. Retirement is not about doing less, it's about doing more of what you love. It's about using your newfound freedom to pursue your passions, explore new interests, and make a difference in the world. 

To do this, you need to aim high. The biggest mistake retirees make is that they aim far too low. They settle for an average retirement, a life of comfort and relaxation, but one that is ultimately unfulfilling and unexciting. Instead, you should strive for a Badass Retirement- a retirement that is full of excitement, purpose, and meaning.

To achieve a Badass Retirement, you need to start by redefining what retirement means to you.

Don't let society's outdated views of aging dictate your retirement. Instead, focus on what brings you joy and fulfillment. Ask yourself what you want to accomplish in your retirement years and make a plan to achieve those goals.

This may mean taking risks and stepping out of your comfort zone. It may mean trying new things and exploring new hobbies. It may mean traveling the world, volunteering, or starting a new business. Whatever it is, don't be afraid to take on new challenges and embrace the unknown.

Of course, achieving a Badass Retirement requires more than just a change in mindset.

You also need to plan for your financial future. This means making smart investments, managing your expenses, and taking advantage of all the resources available to you.
