Successful Retirement What does it take besides money?

Happiness in retirement is about more than finances. People who are "successfully retired" have planned lifestyles that keep them physically, socially, and intellectually active in order to ensure their total well-being. Join us in a discussion in which you will learn from experts as well as from colleagues who have retired successfully or who are planning to retire in the near future. You will leave with ideas about planning for your own successful retirement. Facilitated by the professional staff of the UM Faculty & Staff Assistance Program (FASAP). Light Refreshments will be served. (Class size min 10, max 30)

  • Tuesday, Oct. 30, 2:30pm – 4:45 pm, Kuenzel Room, Michigan Union
