Early in retirement many people enjoy an active life. After a period of time, life may change a bit. Travel probably becomes less extensive while activities become slower and closer to home. Still later, the activities may become less frequent and help may become more necessary. The age at which people move from one stage to another is different from one person to another.

Issues like your health, changing housing needs, divorce, remarriage, death of a spouse, and needs of adult children, grandchildren, or aging parents may cause you to rethink your retirement dreams.
