Second Career After Retirement

 

 

 

 

We may get older, but we don’t have to lose our freedom to dream about what we can become when we “grow up.”

The airwaves are flooded with aspirational investment and financial services ads depicting empty nesters starting their own wineries, traveling the globe or whiling away on the golf course. However, the reality for many older Philadelphians is that you don’t have to go too far to become what you feel you were meant to be.
