My friends and I kind of joke around and laugh when it comes to retirement because I think I have enough saved for and long weekend and taco Tuesday. Then I’d be back at work by Wednesday. So when I saw a book called Purposeful Retirement – How to Bring Happiness and Meaning to Your Retirement for review I knew I needed to check this out and share it with you.

Purposeful Retirement by Hyrum W. Smith Review
I think today typical retirement is really not expected to happen. Most of us will not be able to afford to live on Social Security. If you’re like me, you or you spouse had many ups and downs career-wise that negatively impacted any savings that we had. Plus, I think people are a lot more active today. I know when I “retire” I need to have things to do.
One of the things that I would love to do is travel. I think that’s why online business exploding right now. People are realizing they don’t want to be tied to a desk all day and then go sit in front of the TV.
Purposeful Retirement by Hyrum W. Smith is loaded with ideas about how you can artfully work and create perfect retirement era for you. Each of us have dreams and desires of what retirement looks like. I interact and work with a lot of people who volunteer. I myself have been a volunteer in service clubs for over 15 years. My husband for over eight years.
There are so many different ways that you can interact with people and completely enjoy your retirement years. The author walks us through so many different ideas from mentoring to living with joy no matter what we do.
Active retirement is a must today I think. I know I will continue to work, although probably less hours. But also be active in my community. Definitely allowing time for plenty of travel.
