RETIREMENT PLANNING BEYOND THE $$$ AT SUMNER PIERCE COUNTY

By: Kit Thompson August 25, 2008

People who are planning their retirement are invited to attend the free Living Silver series of programs at three Sumner Pierce County Library. Living Silver addresses the non-financial aspects of retiring well. Mary Lloyd, author of “Bold Retirement: Mining Your Own Silver for a Rich Life,” presents this four-part series.

•Discovering the Buried Treasure–YOU: Define what is important for you. Consider your purpose once retired and explore how you might live that.

•Putting Work in Its Place: Look at the role of work (paid, volunteer, or creative) and the challenges of finding it once retired. Identify your best strategies.

•Silver Ties: Take a realistic look at relationships and expectations. Get connected and stay connected with spouses, parents and kids.

•Mastering the Cosmic Teeter Totter: Consider the balance needed for a satisfying life. Work on problem solving, communication and stress reduction. Address the potential for boredom. Start to plan your silver life.
