People transition into retirement for a variety of reasons. Some might have ended a long career with one company. Others might retire earlier after working in public service for some time. And, still others might just be pushing the pause button while transitioning from one path to another.

Whichever category of retirement one falls into, a universal aspect of retirement is the need to find outlets to stay busy and fill free time. Productivity, a chance to feel valued, and opportunities to create a legacy for your family do not have to stop just, because you’re not heading into an office every day. If you’re considering retirement or have already reached that point, here are some things you can do to stay active during this exciting period: 
 

Work on Something You Love

Retirement doesn’t mean you have to stop working. It’s actually the perfect time to consider working on something you always wanted. For example, was teaching a passion of yours that you never had time to pursue? Do you like working with kids? Look for any part-time opportunities that will allow you to invest time in future generations. 

Also, volunteering is a good way to spend your free time while making a positive impact on your community. Identify a cause that you’re passionate about and research charities near you to dedicate time to. After all, there is no better feeling than being able to help others in your neighborhood and community.

Return to School 

There are ways you can head back to the classroom without breaking the bank. Some things you can be on the lookout for when finding the right institution are:
 

• Confirm if there are opportunities to audit a class: this is an easy way to attend class, even if you won’t receive a grade for it.
• Ask if they have a special tuition rate based on age: most colleges have a separate tuition fee for seniors. Confirm if you meet the requirements and take advantage of this benefit while you can!
• Check if they have online courses: this is the new way to study. Nowadays, educational institutions offer a variety of online programs that allow you to learn without leaving the comfort of your home.
