Virtual Interviews: Preparing for
Retirement
Virtually interview two retirees
(one male and one female) to answer these questions:
– How did you prepare financially
for retirement?
– How did you prepare
psychologically for retirement?
– Did the thought of retirement
scare you? Why or why not?
– How do you spend your time?
– What types of social activities
do you participate in?
– What are your thoughts and
feelings about retirement? Do you like it? Why or why not?
1. Summarize the findings from
your two interviews, noting similarities and differences in general, and
specifically as they appear to relate to gender.
2. Explain the impact of
individual and sociocultural factors on retirement adjustment for your two
interviewees.
3. Integrate the Learning
Resources above and the information gathered from the virtual interviews to
identify and explain factors that contribute to optimal or less-than-optimal
adjustment in and to retirement.
