Transforming Retirement
Ken Dychtwald—the “Prophet of the Coming Age Boom”—explains why this is not your
parent’s retirement and how to optimize your Third Age.
W
hen our grandparents retired, it usually meant
they withdrew to a simpler life—watching
TV, visiting with family and friends, perhaps
playing some golf or doing a bit of travel, if they could
afford it, but essentially marking the days until the
end. Now, the term “retirement” is being redefined, as
both our personal and societal expectations of what
it means to be retired are changing. Due to steadily
elevating life expectancies and an increasing desire for
lifelong learning and continued social engagement in
life’s “third age,” the 20th century model of retirement
is being left behind.
In its place, a new vision for how and when to retire
is emerging, complete with new roles for elders, new
family and friendship networks, new housing options,

and even a new purpose for this steadily lengthening
stage of life. Rather than being a time to wind down
and move to society’s sidelines, the longevity bonus
years are becoming a time for personal reinvention,
eldership, and vitality. Today’s retirees are asking, “Is it
too late to have new dreams, go back to school, start a
new and gratifying career, fall in love again, become a
philanthropreneur, reinvent oneself, change the world?”
In his forward-looking presentation, Transforming
Retirement: New Timing, Roles, Funding,
Challenges, Opportunities, and a New Purpose,
Dr. Ken Dychtwald explores all sides of this issue. He
also outlines the emerging five stages of retirement
and the personal, social, and financial challenges of
each stage.
