title: Preparing for life after work.
abstract: 1. For retirement to be fulfilling and satisfying, hopes and dreams must be designed in early and middle adult life. Long before retirement, the adult must practice healthy living with the future in mind. 2. Saving and investing wisely is important and requires discipline and risk. A regular savings plan should start in the 30s and continue carefully throughout 2, 3 and 4 decades. 3. The transition to retirement is facilitated if interests are planned and friendships for retirement are cultivated in adult life. One of the best ways to prepare for retirement is to live the kind of life expected in retirement.
