Are You Ready to Rewire ??

by Nancy Fernandez Mills

If you're like a lot of Baby Boomers, getting off the fast track and letting go of the daily grind won't mean embracing an "About Schmidt" retirement. You'll want to stay engaged in something interesting, rewarding and meaningful. According to author Jeri Sedlar, you'll want to "rewire."

Jeri is the co-author with her husband Rick Miners of a book called "Don't Retire, Rewire." I caught up with Jeri at last week's Life Planning Network meeting at New Directions on the Boston waterfront. Jeri and her husband run an executive search firm in New York City. They noticed that their clients who were "retirement eligible" weren't ready to fold up their tents. They were searching for the next thing but didn't always know how to begin.

Jeri and Rick conducted some research. They asked about 500 people why they worked beyond a paycheck and got 85 reasons! They call these "drivers" and advise everyone to identify their own drivers as they step into their next job, volunteer activity, hobby... whatever!
