Highly Successful Retirees….

…..possess the same eight traits.

The eight traits listed below came from highly successful, well-adjusted and content retirees. The good news is even if you do not have all of these traits today, you can learn and master them, even if you think you have a genetic or cultural predisposition against you. What’s more, possessing these eight traits guarantees you a highly successful retirement.

  1. Planning was statistically the most significant (financially and non-financially).
  2. Positive attitude and your perception of you own health, financial well-being, age, achievement.
  3. Accepting change and adapting to change are crucial to your success.
  4. Support groups of family and friends who are your age, older and younger.
  5. Leisure time is developed to include a variety of both mentally and physically challenging activities in three specific categories: with one other person, with a group, and by yourself.
  6. Health is maintained by taking care of yourself with regular medical checkups, watch your diet, exercise, don’t smoke, watch your alcohol intake, and control your weight.
  7.  Passion and purpose is discovered to gain a sense of fulfillment.
  8. Spirituality will offer you strength, solace, and hope when facing traumas and setbacks.
