Here are 10 interesting active adult lifestyles to consider:
- Professional volunteer. You can volunteer in your community, internationally, or somewhere else in your own country. Full-time or part-time. Use the Internet to find opportunities that match your interests.
- Continuing education and/or culture. Many active adults pursue courses or relocate somewhere close to the cultural activities they enjoy.
- College town. Similar to the above, living in a college town usually provides tremendous cultural and education opportunities.
- City life. For many, the idea of living in a sleek apartment high above the street and taking an elevator to emerge amidst countless restaurants, museums, and galleries is heaven on earth.
- Small towns. A lot of other people crave the connections that can come from living in a town small enough to know your neighbors. Being able to walk or bike downtown is always a plus.
- Living near family and friends. The primary driver for most people is being near family and friends. The ability to be a part of your children’s and grandchildren’s lives is priceless for them.
- Career reinvention. Whether it is your current profession or a new field, many 55 plus folks find the purpose and energy from work the highest driver in their lives.
- A life of recreation. You’ve worked hard in life. So if you can afford it, find a town or 55 plus active adult community that provides the recreational and sports that keep your body healthy and your mind engaged.
- Living abroad. A life in a foreign country, for part or all of the year, is very appealing to many. The cultural rush and sometimes, the lower costs and better weather, are key factors as well.
- Hobbies. Maybe you raise orchids. Perhaps you love to travel. Designing a retirement lifestyle that centers on your hobbies can be very fulfilling.
