Are you retired or soon to be retired? Let everyone know that you are now in control and express your feelings with a well deserved t-shirt, bumper sticker, or decal.

Many people have retired because they feel it is time to do other things. "I love teaching," one teacher said, "but there were a lot of things I need to do that require vigor and physical strength, and I want to do them while I still can." Many will spend the early days of his or her retirement involved in some of the physical activities they didn't have time to do as an employee or professional. Popular past times include riding horseback, writing, hiking, camping, biking, and traveling the world.

Our post-work population is robustly healthy, perhaps best proved by the fact that one in ten retired people still have parents alive. Eight in ten feel very or rather healthy, as you can tell from their favorite pastimes; gardening (39%), walking/hiking (30%) and playing sports (24%). Retired people also believe in looking after their health with two thirds regularly exercising and sticking to a healthy diet.

The good news doesn't stop there, even though 73% of retired people confirm that their income is lower than when they worked 70% also confirm that their standard of living has increased or stayed the same (mainly because they already own most of the things they need, adjust their lifestyles to suit their means and have paid off their mortgages) whilst even more people (80%) confirm their quality of life has also increased or stayed the same. The vast majority (94%) of retired people feel happy with their life.

Make a bumper sticker with your favorite saying or wear a t-shirt that tells the world about how you feel. Order a decal for your fishing tackle box, your gun case, or one for your favorite walking stick. Being retired is something to be proud of. You have been there, done that, and now you are doing this. What a wonderful life.
