Retirement means different things to different people, for some it means living on a restricted income, for others it means perhaps part-time work and for a lucky few it is a life of leisure and travel.

Once retired, you have to ask your self, do I travel freely thinking that life is short and at any time illness could end my travel days, or do I stay practical and frugal (and forgo travel) because I have to be able to afford to take care myself in case I live to be 95. Health care costs keep raising and the ceiling keeps going up, up and up. These are tough issues.

Lots of retires have returned to the part-time job market. There's often more flexibility to part-time work. Retires doing part time work that they are interest in, especially part time travel agents, love it. By becoming a part time travel agent, retires can kill two birds with one stone. They can earn the extra money they need and they get to travel around the world for pennies on the dollar at travel agent rates.
