Ideas for Active Seniors to Get the Most Out of Their Retirement
Many of the newly retiring baby boomers are asking themselves, “What do I do know that I am retired?” They are not about to sit at home and play bingo. This group of young, active seniors is looking for ways to fill their retirement years. After many years in hectic careers, many are pursuing new interests.
If you enjoy cooking or baking, many community colleges offer non-credit classes in theses areas. Now only are the classes fun, but it is a good way to meet new friends that enjoy similar interests. Community colleges also offer other non-credit classes in the areas of quilting, clothing construction, horticulture, floral design, woodworking, and more. Now, as a retiree, you can enjoy painting the landscapes and enjoy throwing the pottery wheel if you never got a chance to do so before. In addition, if you are interested in taking a credit class, but don’t need the academic credit (if you just wanted to learn a language or new skill), many colleges will allow you to audit a class and only pay a nominal fee, which is around $25. In addition, many colleges will allow you to take tuition-free classes on a space available basis.
