Planning Ahead


Van Kampen Aggressive Growth fund (VAGAX).

Prepare for a career change. As far as embarking on a second career after retirement, Clark encourages Taylor to pursue becoming a real estate agent while he’s still working full time. Selling real estate part-time would suit his long-term goals. He needs to contact a local real estate agent or broker, or a local community college, and apply for the classes. After he passes the exam, he could work for a real estate agency to gain firsthand experience.
