Getting ready for retirement can be a daunting and confusing task. Here are some suggestions to help. "Listen to Bill & Robin" - 10 minute audio.

One of the most upsetting features of getting older is memory loss.

Some people get worried about forgetting everyday things and get frustrated with themselves. Yet it is usually nothing more than a normal part of the aging process. The secret is to learn how to handle memory loss rather than fight it.

In every conversation between retirees the lack of memory will inevitably pop up every time. Some people laugh it off, some don't care, some don't notice it, while many are concerned. The fear is that it is a sign of something more serious - dementia in one form or another. It usually is not, but must be monitored.

In reality is merely a sign of some forgetfulness and can be handled by using various "remembering" techniques. The wise among us simply say, "It's an age thing" and get on with our lives.

Retirement is a journey which must be planned and managed to get the most out of the rest of your life.

When your parents or grandparents retired, the standard view of retirement was that you were getting close to the "end of the line". The notion that after retirement, death was next on the list, and if it came soon after retirement, people weren't particularly surprised. It was the natural order of life back then.

Times have changed.

Over 10,000 people turn 65 every single day in the States. And while that is a big number it actually has more connotation than just a number. It says that with an aging population on the rise, new activities and perspectives are surfacing. That could be travel or golf or social media or gardening etc, but there is more and more attention being focused on life in retirement than ever before.

However, because the retirement "gig" has so many more angles these days, it brings with it a multitude of challenges as well. The emotional issues of retirement were almost completely ignored years back, but now the need for a better understanding of the psychological aspects are fast becoming critical.
