  • If you’re not ready to fully jump into entrepreneurship, but want to stay active in your field, Wald suggests considering part-time consultancy. Staying relevant in their industries for retirees means keeping up with technological advances, and staying in touch with former colleagues—not faking the latest cool gadgets to appear younger.

The new rules belong to another universe—flexible, precarious, and entrepreneurial, less and less tied to specific times, places, and employers.
  • Old Rule: You have a full-time job with benefits. New Rule: You go from gig to gig, project to project.
  • Old Rule: Work is "9-to-5" New Rule: You’re on call 24-7.

  • Old Rule: You commute into an office every day. New Rule: Work can happen wherever you are, anywhere in the world.
  • Old Rule: Work-life balance is about two distinct, separate spheres. New Rule: For Better Or Worse The Line Between Work And Life Is Almost Entirely Disappearing.
  • Old Rule: You work for money, to support yourself and your family. New Rule: You work because you’re "passionate" about a "movement" or a "cause"—you have to "love what you do."
