What am I going to do with my retirement?
People talk about retirement like it’s supposed to be an endless vacation. But what if, like the majority of those facing retirement, you can’t afford such a luxury? Or, what if you just want something more from retirement? Some advocate for no retirement at all. But you’ve worked for decades and a rest and reprieve do sound appealing. What should you do?

A Biblical Contrast to the Worldâs View of Retirement Being a lot closer to retirement age than Jeff Haanen, I would have assumed that I probably knew a lot more about retirement than he. I have been astonishingly proven wrong. Jeff gives readers of all ages a wise and insightful look into Godâs purpose for the final third of earthly life. Contrasting the worldâs view of retirement as a perpetual vacation filled with leisure and inane pursuits, Jeff gives a well-reasoned biblical point of view that shows that your retirement years can be a time of…
