Mercer
Prepares Retirees to Retire With the Right Attitude
8-27-08
WEST
WINDSOR, N.J. – There is a classic song called “The Best is
Yet to Come.” For those planning to retire, this message takes on
special meaning. Mercer County Community College’s “Retire with
Attitude” fall workshops have been designed to help retirees, or
those nearing retirement, to chart their best course of action for a fulfilling
future. The series is offered by the college’s Center for Continuing
Studies, with classes that meet in the early evening at the West Windsor
Campus, 1200 Old Trenton Road.
The
entrepreneurial ball gets rolling Sept. 25 with “Retirement Jobs
and Starting a Business,” which explores a broad spectrum of options
for individuals considering a completely new path. Those who desire to
take time for themselves, guilt free, will learn more about what makes
them tick with “There is No Time for Me,” which meets for one
session on Oct. 14. “Live by Design, Not by Default,” held in
four sessions Oct. 20 - Nov. 10, focuses on empowering each participant
to become “directors” in the movie called “My Life.”
New
this fall is “Everything You’ve Wanted to Know About Long Term
Care.” This session on Oct. 15 will provide a thorough, unbiased
overview of such critical topics as Medicare and other health insurance
coverage; the effect of new legislation and tax laws on long-term care;
the pros and cons of home health care, and the differences among nursing
homes, assisted living facilities and continuing care communities. Other
helpful information will include a look at how to work effectively with
insurance representatives and how to evaluate group life insurance policies.
Making
its debut this fall will be the Certificate in Gerontology program, designed
for professionals who work with the elderly, as well as personal caregivers.
The curriculum will explore broad-ranging issues that impact aging adults,
with classes offered on Saturdays, Sept. 27 - Nov. 15.

to think about forgotten goals or to do absolutely nothing but relax.

Live by Design, not by Default
This workshop is designed to have each person take an authentic look at
the important areas of their lives, to assess their level of satisfaction
in those areas, to clearly articulate where they would like to be, and
then to begin designing road maps and action plans for creating the lives
they want. Participants will explore what
stops them from having what they want and what it would take to move them
forward. The intention is for each participant to leave empowered in the
view that they are the directors in the movie called, “My Life”
and that they have power over the way it goes. They will come away with
the tools to start to “Live by Design, not by Default.”
Tuition and fees: $72
