Retired? Thinking of Going Back to Work?
Seven questions to ask before you take the next step.
More and more retirees are considering a return to the workplace, and the reasons go well beyond finances. Many people miss the social interaction, sense of purpose, and daily structure that work provides. Others simply feel more fulfilled when they stay active and engaged.
A helpful article on AARP’s website, What to Ask Before You Unretire and Go Back to Work, outlines seven key questions to consider before rejoining the workforce. These questions touch on important areas such as your health, family commitments, personal goals, and your true financial picture.
In my conversations with retired and semi-retired members, I’ve learned that the decision to “unretire” is rarely straightforward. For some, the financial boost is appealing; for others, staying connected, productive, and appreciated is just as important. Whatever your reason, it’s worth taking time to reflect before making a move.
If you’d like to talk through your own financial situation or explore what returning to work could mean for you, I’m here to help. Together, we can set meaningful goals and determine the best steps to support your next chapter.
