You may have worked your whole life to prepare for retirement, but now that you’re nearing it or already retired, you may be asking yourself, “Now what?” According to a study by RBC Wealth Management, about one-third of current retirees spend their days much differently than they anticipated they would prior to retirement. This could be due to family or health changes, but a big factor in this, writes Forbes senior contributor Bob Carlson, could be a shift in your goals as you age. For some retirees, the activities they planned to fill their retired days are not as fulfilling once they are in retirement, and many find themselves looking for alternatives. If you’re looking for the next best step in your golden years, consider these benefits of finding a local job. FLEXIBILITY You’re not entering the workforce looking for a career, so you have options when it comes to finding a job in retirement. You could find part-time or seasonal work or go for a full-time gig if you like the job. You could even look to industries you never considered, such as breweries, restaurants, local shops, transportation, and schools. Just consider what you enjoy doing and how you want to fill your days before jumping in. SUPPORTING THE COMMUNITY What could be better than seeing your community thrive? Perhaps it’s being part of the reason why the community is booming! Look for part-time work that supports local businesses, and you’ll find you become part of something larger than yourself. You can connect with regulars and tourists while working in places like museums, stores, and local government. EXTRA CASH FLOW Our job is to help you save for retirement, but the benefits of a job in retirement can include padding those savings. If you can live on part or all of your new salary, you can continue saving for later in life while pulling out the mandatory requirement each month. You could save your extra cash for something fun, put it away for your grandchildren, or boost your lifestyle. Ultimately, this money is a bonus, and it’s up to you to decide what to do with it.
