"There is no single answer to the question, "What should I do when I retire?" Retirement offers a chance to reinvent your life and pursue new passions, allowing you to redefine your lifestyle. While I'm not an attorney, given my all-consuming and rewarding working lifestyle, I am also contemplating redefining my life for retirement, so that I can enjoy my time before my "best before date.""
"Planning for retirement involves several important considerations: deciding when to retire, determining whether to work part time or act as a mentor to those interested in practicing law or students looking for a role model, identifying activities that will provide fulfillment, and choosing with whom to spend your time. If you find these questions challenging, now is the time to begin planning. Fear should not be the primary obstacle that holds you back from moving forward."
A documentary examined retirement through the lens of lawyers who are apprehensive as well as optimistic about the transition. Retirement provokes fear, excitement, and uncertainty while also offering opportunities to reinvent life and pursue passions. Thirty years of experience counseling retirement-plan participants highlights contrasting lawyer perspectives: some dread retirement while others embrace its possibilities. Planning requires decisions about timing, potential part-time work or mentoring, identifying fulfilling activities, and choosing companions. Developing a retirement plan or 'retirement manifesto' provides direction for newly available hours. Intentional effort and purposeful choices are necessary to create a joyful retirement rather than letting fear dictate timing.
