Culture and Education

Hi:

In his book Retire in Style, Dr. Warren R. Bland further delineates leisure into more specific categories. One of these is culture and education.

Cultural and educational opportunities are an extremely important consideration for many. The chance to visit fine musuems, art galleries and exhibitions add interest and learning. Attending plays, concerts, gallery openings, operas, and special events are fun and deeply satisfying.

Continuous learning is paramount for some, especially those with an intellectual bent.

When you consider moving to a new area, and culture has been a big part of your life, make sure there is a strong cultural base within that community. Also, you may have never had the time to develop knowledge of the arts or music in the past because of your busy lifestyle. As you retire, this may be an ideal time to do so.
