With the approach of retirement, which many people dream of and even consider the remaining time before it, a huge number of plans appear. Indeed, for some, a pension, in its classical sense, means a period of decrepitude and doing nothing, for most other elderly people, especially those who are not used to sitting idly by, a reasonable question arises - what to do in retirement?
Having reached retirement age, many people choose to stop working. But it is known that working pensioners who continue to work (regardless of the type of work, whether it is permanent or temporary, associated with the previous profession or not), are more resistant to various diseases. They suffer much less diseases associated with disorders of the circulatory system and cardiovascular system than pensioners who are at home. In fact, the labor process has a good effect on the general psychological state of a person, intellectual activity and health in general. The most important thing in retirement time is to remain in demand, show an interest in life, be useful to others and strive to master something new. Someone decides to devote themselves to their loved ones, children, grandchildren. For some, there is a long summer cottage period. But those who want to use their professional skills, past experience, can be advised to try themselves in new activities. If you have a long work experience and are considered a professional in a particular field, after retirement, you can sell your knowledge and skills. Many retirees, whose professional experience and knowledge base remain in value, do well in consulting services. The advantage of retirement age is that you don't have to work full-time; you can also take hourly work. Your loved ones consider you to be a first-class chef, and is traditional food prepared for home celebrations always a welcome event? Then you need to try yourself in the professional culinary field. A hobby, in this case, can easily turn into a profitable business. The service industry and trade also attract a large number of older people. Here you may be interested in networking opportunities, decent pay and flexible working hours. Another option would be temporary employment. This can be your previous place of work, for example, as a substitute for temporarily absent employees, or work on projects with related specialties. Today's newly minted retirees are graduates of the Soviet school, which means they have a good education, knowledge of literature and other disciplines. All this will be useful for mastering new professions on the Internet. Many people believe that it is already difficult and late to master something new at retirement age. But you need to try to show a little effort, patience and attention. More and more retired authors appear who write literate and informative articles, notes for Internet sites. And if you want, you can master things and more difficult. For example, learning how to create your own websites, blogs, take photographs and post your work on the Internet. Retirement is the same active and fulfilling time that you can spend with benefit and pleasure for yourself and others.
