The next stage of life is “Vānprasthāshram”. This starts at the age of 50 years and goes up to 75. Main goal of this stage is Svādhyāy or serious and regular study of scriptures and preparing for the ultimate goal in life - which is union ( Yog) with God or Brahman ( Moksha).
One can devote more time for community service - again without expecting anything (money, prestige, position, or power) in return for the services. Gradually all unnecessary material things and activities are given up, life is simplified, and most time is devoted to Svādhyāy (self-study) or Sevā or service of community.
