Transition to retirement is less traumatic if you plan ahead to have purpose and meaning in your life in later years. Even if you’re already retired, it’s not too late to make plans for your future.

A good place to start this quest is with your values, because anything you do that matches your values will bring meaning and purpose to your life.
