The Wheel of Life is a common tool used to assess our current status in a variety of areas of life, including relationships with others, health, contributions, etc.

By giving a rating from 1 to 10 for where you feel you're currently at in each category, you can get a visual picture of which areas of your life might need a bit of work to help you thrive.

Anna Harvey is a Certified Retirement Coach, and the creator of Retire Solo - a cohort-based coaching program and community dedicated to Canadian women who are, or will be, retiring and aging on their own.

The idea of retiring solo isn't new - there are many services and programs available in the US for people who find themselves alone at this stage of life. But there weren't any in Canada... YET.

Anna has changed that. With https://retiresolo.ca, she has designed a community where women can discover and plan a vibrant well-being in retirement... where you can have retirement on your own, but not ALONE.

Full-time work after you retire may feel like a cop-out; after all, you're supposed to be "done working", right? Not necessarily! Lots of people like to keep their foot in the door, so to speak, and the social aspect of work is hard to give up.

So what about part-time work? And maybe the service industry is the place to find it! There are many businesses looking for part-time help; you can pick the hours, decide on the services you want to provide, and there's no stress involved because it's not your "life work".

Servers, bartenders, dog walkers, cab drivers...there are so many options out there! Don't brush off this way to make some extra money and be part of what's going on, without taking the time to check it out.

Barbara is a financial educator and the author of her first book, Tipped – the life-changing guide to financial freedom for waitresses, bartenders, strippers and all other service industry professionals.

Barbara believes that positions in the service industry are perfectly designed for people who are in their retirement phase of life. These jobs offer flexible work hours, provide opportunities for individuals to get out and socialize, and can often provide a little extra income to pay for the extras when there's no pressure to cover all the bills with a full-time job.
