★ For Epic Retirees ★ Retirement - The Ultimate Freedom Loop
After a lifetime of responsibility, retirement is the ultimate freedom loop. It's a chance to shed the responsibilities of the working world and embrace the freedom to do what you want, when you want. But the freedom of retirement is not without its responsibilities.

Retirement is a chance to take responsibility for your health and wellbeing, to pursue hobbies, pursuits and interests that bring you jo and fulfilment, and to contribute to your community in new ways. It's a chance to be responsible for creating a fulfilling and meaningful life in this new chapter.

Just like the speed limit reminds us of our responsibility to keep others safe, a modern retirement reminds us that we have a responsibility to ourselves and those around us to seek out our fulfilment and financial security. And when we embrace that responsibility, we create a culture of resilient freedom that is truly epic.

Today I want to talk about something that's near and dear to all of our hearts: how to achieve real, quality happiness in retirement.

Retirement's your time to set yourself free,
Unleash your spirit, embrace your personality,
Leave behind the rules, and do as you please,
Retirement's your time to live with ease.

So, let your hair down, and dance to your beat,
Travel the world, or put up your feet,
Pursue your passions, and follow your heart,
Retirement's your chance for a brand new start.

Retirement's a time to break free and be bold,
To chase new horizons, as your story unfolds,
Let your passions ignite, and your spirit take flight,
Retirement's your chance to make your life 'epic' and bright.

Love this poem from Jenny Ridler, 59
