One should start saving early for retirement so ·the
time can be pleasant; so one can travel and enjoy
recreation and grandchildren. There should be plans
for activities so the retiree won't become physically
inactive. Flower gardening has been a great enjoyment
for me. Not only do I enjoy fresh flowers in the house
and at school, but I get my needed exercise.
Avocations that benefit your health and/or benefit others
ar:e great.

Read! It expands your mind, knowledge, and
horizons. Participate in a sport of some sort. It
provides exercise. Do volunteer work in church or the
community. The satisfaction of helping others is morale
building. Be prepared. Plan ahead. Do not depend on
social measures; they may not be there. Have your
house, car, etc. paid in full. Have a savings built up so
it can make your "living" for you.

First of all, planning our retirement is very important,
and we should be as debt free as possible. When we
retire, we should plan on having major debts, such as
home, paid for. It is important for a person to have a
hobby along with his/her work. This hobby would
depend on the person's interest. I would suggest golf,
tennis, softball, baseball , swimming, volleyball, or
whatever you prefer.
