-- The 100% leisure model of retirement ("the Golden Years") is just a marketing spin for "get out of the way." -- We need some kind of work to thrive once we retire, even if we don't do it for pay. Retiring doesn't mean we have to stop making a difference. -- Living through our sense of purpose is as essential as breathing. Once we lose that, we lose the ability to make the choices we need to thrive. -- Much of what we blame on aging is really the result of mindset and lifestyle decisions. It is within our capability to alter those elements of our lives, and master our destiny, rather than be a slave to circumstances."The RV model might work for some, but most of us need a goal to work toward to feel worthwhile," Lloyd said. "To retire well, we need learn how to include that and still relax and have fun."
