Retirement (any suggestions)

[Dan_Ashley]

Great thread, Joe. I am retriring in 3 mos, so I learned a lot. The "experts" I have read say to
1. make sure you have a purpose (not just all hobbies)
2. exercise
3. give back by volunteering
4. engage in life long learning
5. don't rush into moving if you are close to friends and family

And pay off the charge cards every month--this is important.

I will be 65 in February and i will retire at the end of March of 2014. I am going to do a lot with my Spyder such as traveling on long (Little Rock, AR to Brooklyn, NY) and short (Little Rock, AR to Branson, MO) trips, i have (willhave) a 2014 RT-S and a trailer. I am looking for some suggestions fromsome folks that have allready retired as to things to be aware of or any other suggestions. I plan to make Spyderfest and other events. Any thing i NEED to know?

i also am retired (4 decades GE)
this past May a friend n i rode out from my home in Easley, SC to UTAH to ride AMERICA'S MOST SCENIC HIGHWAY, aka: Rt.12...

most AWESOME ride ever.... 124 miles of incredible scenery.... :thumbup:
we stayed the night in Torrey, UT and rode the entire length, both ways the next day....
next day we left to ride down to 4 CORNERS... a MUST see...
rule 1: in western TX, NM & UT, start looking for gas when you are at HALF TANK, do not ignore this advise... otherwise, you may be walking (no cell phone service in some places)...

PM me if you decide to go that way... i may be doing a ride to Needles, CA to visit BIG BIRD next May or June.....

enjoy you retirement, and ride safely....

i started saving and planning for retirement when I was 20 years old.

But most of the plans resulted in a big zero until I was 40. Then they all came together and I retired at 55. So, do not give up. If I could do it, so can you.

Unfortunately I started my retirement saving when I was 50, really never thought I'd live to see 50. :dontknow:

If I dance with my pants off even vampires will expire.

I'm not sure if I should ask this... pps:
Is it because of the garlic??

LOL!!!
no. It is due to my "buff" body!

 

[Bob Denman]

But in my case; it's Water-BUFFalo! :roflblack:
