What happens after retirement can be a big question to Americans that are on the brink of retirement. Uncertainty can bring about stress and anxiety as Americans may struggle with what turn their life will take in the near future. Once you retire it is a good idea to continue to do some sort of work activity. Retiring and leaving the career that you have been in for many years provided you with much more than you think. The sense of pride and accomplishment, friends, and influence in the workplace cannot stop once you enter retirement. A good idea is to do something that you have passion for and to also make a difference in what you are doing. This helps you stay sharp and focused while in retirement. Having another part time job during retirement can also provide a great supplement to your retirement income to help out with expenses and at the same time keep you healthy. Margaret Altmix, director of coaching services at Navigating Your Retirement, an online coaching program recently launched by Employee & Family Resources in Des Moines, Iowa states that, “The most important factor in a successful retirement is the strength of your social network." Keeping your old friends and also making new ones to add to your social network while in retirement is a very big factor to staying physically and mentally healthy during your retirement years.
