Ep 2013: How to Reform Retirement in America
Retirement needs an overhaul, but before we change our idea of retirement, we have to change our idea of work. Both are about more than money. Just like Martin Luther changed the thinking surrounding the Bible, we need a similar reformation regarding how believers view retirement.
There are three stages of retirement to take note of. Between 65 and 78, you are in the active stage, where you typically have more energy and physical stamina. Next comes the stage of mentoring, from around 78 to 87. Then finally around 88 and older we are in a reflective stage. It’s important to know these stages and plan how to make the greatest impact in each one.
Guest Bruce Bruinsma just retired at 82. Even as a lifelong entrepreneur who loves to work, he admits that retirement has been the greatest time of his life – a time of epic flourishing. Why is that? Because he has found and pursues meaning and purpose, not just leisure!
Bruce mentions some wonderful resources to bring the meaning and purpose we all need:
• The iRetire4Him book: download the first chapter for free and get a copy with a donation of any amount to iWork4Him (just email Martha@iWork4Him.com after giving). Bruce loves reading the stories found in iRetire4Him from our original iRetire4Him Ambassador, Ted Hains.
• Listen to the iRetire4Him Podcast to continue learning from this conversation.
• Check out highlighted resources from Retirement Reformation:
- The Retirement Reformation Manifesto that outlines the 10 principles Christian retirees should aim to live by.
- Oxygen for Life, a weekend event for ages 55+ you can host in your church or community
- Recreating Retirement – 10-session workshop for small groups
- Wrap-Around Grandparenting supports single moms, foster families, adoptive families.
Commit to changing your thinking about retirement and use these resources to start bringing meaning and purpose to what can be your most flourishing years.
