Frederick Fraunfelder, M.D. ‘Fritz’ spoke to the dinner group regarding his book 'Retirement RX'.  Ken Blanchard, Phd. says “A surefire scientific formula for enjoying the years ahead when our first career is over. A must-read!” This is Fritz’s retirement Docs’ proven prescription of living a happy, fulfilling rest of your life. For Fritz, good financial planning is not enough.

Fritz is seen here with his wife Yvonne, Chuck Wingard and his wife Mary.

In his book he describes four phases of retirement.   

1. Planning for retirement when you are fully employed. You should have five to ten  years before you semi- or full retirement starts. This is time to “field-test” some leisure activities.

2. Shifting into semiretirement means that we are working part-time in some capacity and being paid for it.

3. Full retirement are those carefree no-responsibility years you knew would be yours one day.

4. Restricted full retirement is the last phase and you may experience many more limitation due to health, age, and finances. The most difficult phase!

Along with the four phases of retirement, research also showed the most highly successful, well-adjusted, and content retirees shared eight traits in common. Possessing these traits guarantees you a highly successful retirement.
    1. Sowing Seeds-- the planner’s advantage
    2. Accentuate the Positive-- it’s all about attitude
    3. Go with the Flow-- accept change
    4. A  Little Help from Your Friends (and family)
    5. Kick Back-- enjoy your leisure time
    6. Here’s to Your Health
    7. Passion and a Purpose
    8. Let the Spirit Move You

Fred thanks Fred for his service as Chairman of the Oregon ACD Section.
