What a fun idea. Just because you’re retired doesn’t mean you can’t whip out a business card at a moment’s notice for a little networking! And by networking, we of course mean finding fellow retirees who can do a little day drinking, golfing, traveling, and eating together.
These ones really take the (retirement) cake, so to speak:
51. Retirement Cards with Gold Case
52. Beach Themed Retirement Business Card
53. Permanently Out of Office
54. Retired Don’t Bother Me

REMEMBER: once you’ve found a great card, written some heartfelt and/or witty one liners, and celebrated with the proud retiree, it’s time to think about what’s really important: Your own retirement!
Time to dream, plan, get inspired, and maybe order a few business cards of your own… It’s never too early for goals!
