Interviewing an old Person


by Alex

Interviewing an old person about retirement is, in my opinion, a bad idea. But, for those that actually going to interview that old person, here are some questions to ask them.
1.      When did you start saving for retirement? An answer you might receive is maybe around the age of 18-30. Typically around that age does it set in that retirement is approaching.
2.       Did the retirement savings help you post-retirement? The answer for this question might be a little more complicated. For example, you need to take pension into account, and all expenses that need to be paid.
3.       Did you have any plans for post-retirement? The answer for this might be a bit long… like a whole bucket list and reasons for the items. An answer might include going on a long vacation, skydiving, or any other crazy stunt. Or, you might get a no for an answer. Maybe this person just wants to live out life after they retire.
And so, if you actually want to interview an old person about retirement, those are some questions to ask.
