For each response, give yourself points as follows:

  • B and D answers: These are usually the engaging options. Award yourself 1 point for each of these you picked.
  • A and C answers: These are the fun, quirky options (because who doesn’t want to chase an ice cream truck?). No points for these, but definitely consider them for a good laugh!

Total up your points and see where you stand:

  • 8-10 Points: “Retirement Rockstar!” You’re ready to make your retirement as legendary as your work stories no one believes. You might even start a new trend in the retiree community!
  • 5-7 Points: “Semi-Engaged Enthusiast!” You’ve got one foot in the retirement fun zone. A little push and you might find yourself leading a conga line at the next community dance-off.

0-4 Points: “Reluctant Retiree!” It looks like you might still be in work mode. It’s time to swap those spreadsheets for something that sparks joy—or at least something that doesn’t require a monthly report.
