Defining Retirement and Semi-Retirement
Update: 2022-01-12
Description
For most people, there are six stages of retirement:
- Pre-Retirement
- Full Retirement
- Disenchantment
- Reorientation
- Reconciliation
- Stability
The idea of Semi-Retirement changes this usual trajectory. Rather than retiring and not knowing what to do with yourself, you can figure out what you're truly passionate about while you're young enough to try new things, rather than being stuck at home watching The Price is Right and wondering "What if?"
Zurich Awes has done a lot of testing in his own life to find the right way to do this. This includes:
- Attempting Retirement at 36
- Semi Retiring at 38
- Trying Full Retirement in Florida at 45
- Finally semi-retiring in St. Croix at 48.
The key to all of this Zurich Awes' motto: "Live The Life You Love." But what is the life you love? Often, the path to figuring that out involves answering 3 questions. Zurich explains why these questions are key.
- How would your life be different right now if you had $100 million and no debt?
- If you were going to die in one year, one month, one week, or one day - what would you do differently?
- If everyone you knew was gone, what would you do with your time?
