    We invite you to consider questions such as:

    • When should I retire?
    • How will I spend my time after I stop or reduce my work?
    • How will I find purpose and meaning after I retire?
    • How will my identity change in retirement?
    • How will retirement affect my relationships with family and friends?
    • How do I investigate work and volunteer opportunities?
