Wednesday, April 5, 1989 TERRACE BAY/SCHREIBER NEWS Plan for retirement 8-CL. Ladies -- By Dave Chmara "Look at retirement as a career change. You could be retired for as long as you worked," said Don (Chick) Thompson at the final day of his Retirement Planning course which was held through the Terrace Bay Recreation Centre. Thompson noted that many people take on a second job when they retire either to supplement their income, or simply for the enjoyment. Many retirees upon retirement Start a new career, take school courses, teach or travel to keep them occupied in their new found spare time. For those deciding to continue their education by taking a school course, Thompson said, "if you don't pass the course it doesn't matter. You're just taking it for the enjoyment." Nowadays people are retiring at an earlier age. To retire at the age of 55 or 60 is not uncommon although some decide to work right up until they are 65. Thompson believes that even- tually there will be no such thing as mandatory retirement which will enable people to continue working for as long as they wish. With the baby boomers falling between the ages of about 35 to 50, Thompson noted that these people are pushing people who are older out of jobs. But he said it will be interesting to see what happens when the baby boomers themselves retire as their will be fewer people to take over their positions. Somebody commented, "maybe the retirees will have to go back to work." In order to get a first hand idea of what it's like to be retired, Roger and Addie Beaulieu were on hand to share some of their thoughts on retirement. Roger has been retired for eight years now. He said he planned planned to retire at 60 years of age and that he and Addie discussed their retirement plans for five years before he actually retired. When the time actually came, he was somewhat reluctant to retire and it took him two or three years to get used to being retired: He said while planning his retirement he looked for informa- Self- Managing 4 Money Development -Education Spiritual Well-Being tion regarding various benefits and annuities to be fully prepared when the time came. "You have to live with the pension you get. It doesn't increase so that's something to think about and you have to live with it," Roger said. "You can't retire just on a company pension. You have to have more than that." He also mentioned that bills must still be paid, and money continues going to the govern- ment in the form of income tax, school tax, property tax and so on.
