For many retirees, furthering their education is a profitable use of their time. Today, via the Massive Open Online Course initiative, some the most respected universities such as Harvard and Yale have courses available to a global audience. Best of all, it’s often free.
The UK’s Open University set the benchmark for distance education in the 1960s, followed by other academic institutions globally, thereby opening up myriad opportunities for older students to study. Picking up a degree along the way is optional.
Singapore has much to offer as a tourist destination. For retirees, that experience can be enhanced by having a travel money card and packing your senior citizen’s card.
Forget the bucket list. Far better to find a pursuit, whether it be a sport or hobby, which you can derive pleasure day in, day out.
