When Jim's company offered him early retirement, he jumped at the chance to leave the stress of the corporate world behind. After 30 years, Jim was ready for a change.

But Jim and his wife worried about unexpected expenses that would chip away at what they had saved for retirement, and Jim's days felt long since his wife still worked.

So, Jim took a part-time job as a high school coach, which provides him with flexibility and employee benefits while the extra income pads their retirement nest egg.

Jim is one of a growing group of employment extenders that Voya Cares® calls "Part of the Plan."
