Contemporary Retirement
Retirement is changing. The type of retirement that their parents enjoyed is no longer enough for the baby boomer generation. Today’s retirees are younger, richer, fitter, healthier and better educated than previous generations of retirees. They also have much higher expectations. The aim of this blog is to help you get the vital, healthy, prosperous, productive and fulfilling retirement that you really want (and deserve).Thursday, June 15, 2006
Retirement humour
A mother decided one Christmas that she wasn't going to remind her kids any longer of their need to write thank-you notes.
The result of this was that their Grandad never received any thank-yous for the very generous cheques he'd written to the kids. However, the following year, things were different.
"All the Kids came over personally to thank me" said the Grandad in a triumphant manner...
"That's great," said his friend, "why do you think they decided to change their behaviour?"
"Well, that's easy," declared Grandad, "this year I didn't sign the cheques..."
