Retirement Is the Beginning of Life, Not the End

“Only seventeen more years of misery at my job,” you may be thinking, “and I get to experience Pension Heaven.” Not if you read Ernie Zelinski's How to Retire Happy, Wild, and Free. It has Retirement Wisdom That You Won't Get from Your Financial Advisor, which will inspire you to retire early just like he did even though his net worth was minus $30,000 at the time.

Unfortunately, retirement often gets a bad rap from many media people and other individuals who themselves have not been able to successfully cope with retirement. Fortunately, people who can't cope with retirement are in the minority. "Retirement works out quite well for people," states Joel Savishinsky, a professor at Ithaca College. Savishinsky, author of Breaking the Watch, adds, "It is not the kind of trauma it has often been pictured in the past."


To be sure, most retired Americans who have implemented their retirement plans are enjoying themselves according to a survey by financial services firm AIG SunAmerica. Similarly, based on a recent survey conducted by Trimark Investment Management, most retired Canadians have no regrets about being retired. The Canadian retirees taking part in the survey claimed that a drop in stress and an increase in intellectual stimulation since they left the workplace are two big advantages of being retired.


A drop in stress and an increase in intellectual stimulation aren't the only advantages that people around the world get to experience when they retire. "Retirement has been very enjoyable for me," declares Pat O'Brien, 65, of East Haddam, Connecticut. "When it snows, I don't have to worry about getting on I-95 to go to work."


Mr. Yong Khin Chong, 56, of Singapore states that more time with his two grandchildren is the biggest perk of retirement. Indeed, after two years of retirement, he claimed that he still didn't have sufficient time to do the things that he would like to do. His retired wife, Madam Ku Lee Nor, also 56, added, ''I don't feel bored at all. It's only now that we have time to travel, read, do gardening, and exercise more regularly.''


The ability to make many choices is another benefit of leaving the work world. "You're free to rediscover who you really are," states retiree Lynn Nelson Paretta, a volunteer with a community service center in Springfield, Virginia. "You're free to go back and build on those aspects you perhaps did not have a chance to express when you were in the working world."

Can You Retire Rich?


The authors of The Millionaire Next Door, Thomas Stanley and William Danko, recommend the following formula to determine if you are accumulating wealth at the rate you should be if you want a financially comfortable retirement. Take your pretax income and multiply it by your age; then divide by 10 to get your expected net worth. According to Stanley and Danko, if your expected net worth is greater than your actual net worth, you should have a comfortable retirement. Of course, like most formulas, this one has at least one shortcoming. If your income is $10 a year and your net worth is $1000, the formula indicates that you are heading toward a comfortable retirement. Good luck!

A Government Job Ain't All That Bad

If You Want to Retire Early


"The only essential government worker," says some workplace graffiti "is the snowplow driver." Perhaps this is why government workers can retire earlier than others. No one cares if they go.

Indeed, if you want to retire early, you can increase your chances by having a government job. This way you won't need a retirement job or a retirement career.

Statistics Canada found that workers in the Canadian public sector retire four years earlier than private-sector employees, and both leave the work force far sooner than self-employed individuals. Public sector employees have a median retirement age of 57.6 and for private sector employees the median is 61.7. Alas, self-employed workers continue to work until age 65.

It could be, however, that the self-employed enjoy what they are working at much more than people employed in government or the private sector. I know that I wouldn't trade what I do for 99 percent of jobs even if they paid me one or two million a year.
