When my dad was 63, he left a career of 35 years for this crazy concept of ‘retirement’. His generation typically worked for the same organization most of their adult lives. They saved money, raised a family, and then as the magical age of 65 arrived, were given a gold watch, a nice party, and a fond ‘fare well’.

My dad turned 86 the other day, so that was some time ago and the concept of ‘retirement’ has changed since then. Still, for many, retirement is a magical date on some unknown calendar that means you’ll pack up your belongings, leave your job behind, and head out into a brave new world.

I realized the other day that my dad didn’t really retire all those years ago. He just started working for someone else. In his case, himself. My dad has always been a very competent money manager and he took himself on as a client. He’s done a great job managing his assets so that his ‘retirement’ has been comfortable. But let’s be clear, he has worked. In fact, he’s worked very hard but (for the most part) loved every minute of it. I think that’s incredible! I’m also very thankful for the legacy he’s built through his hard work, er… retirement.
