"Seven (non-financial) Challenges to 
Successful Retirement"

Thursday, March 25, 2010 ~ 6:30 - 8:30 pm

Retirement in 21st century America is very different from that of our parents' or grandparents’.  For most of us, this transition is the most significant experience working adults will have.  Our world changes: society, family and friends treat us differently and we even see ourselves differently.  In addition, we shoulder new responsibilities and unique challenges than any time before.  In struggling with the new reality, it often leaves us confused and frustrated wondering what it takes to be successful in retirement or what we call “second adulthood.”  From the research we have found, there are seven challenges to successful retirement and in this lecture we will identify each challenge and discuss strategies to overcome them.

 Challenge #1: Adjusting Attitudes. Roles and Assumptions  (pre/post retirement)

Challenge #2:  Educating and Redefining Ourselves

Challenge #3:  Charting Your Life Course with the End in Mind

Challenge #4: Deploying Resources vs. Accumulating Assets

Challenge #5: Managing the Three R’s

Challenge #6:  Finding Meaning and Purpose

Challenge #7: Leaving a Legacy
