As we continue to talk about "Retirement's Dirty Little Secrets and Lies... And what you can do about them." Another very startling point about the new retirement is that there are some six lies that relate to the old retirement model that you had better not believe. Retirement Lie # 1- Retirement is a time for winding down Whatever you do don't go into retirement believing that retirement is a time for winding down. No way. Retirement is a continuation of life or a whole new life of opportunities. And that is the way you have to approach it.

Retirement lie #6 - Retirement will be the same for everyone Well the new picture is clear: retirement is no longer “one size fits all.” And there four very different types of retirees. And people each of these groups have very different attitudes, outlooks, concerns, and ways of living their retirement years. And the more prepared you are will determine which of the four faces you wear in retirement.
