RETIREMENT
WHAT'S NEXT FOR YOU?
RETIREMENT can be a time to explore and experience things you have long desired but may not have been able to do earlier in life. It can be a time to experience more excitement, or a time to enjoy more relaxation, or both. It can be a time of increased freedom and less responsibility, and it can also be a time to become more involved in the lives of grandchildren.
Retirement can be a wonderful time of life, but that doesn't happen automatically. The experience can vary greatly, depending on the reasons for your retirement, as well as on your finances, social connections and health. Retirement also involves substantial emotional and social adjustments, and the more prepared you are for those aspects of retirement, the less complicated the necessary adjustments are likely to be.
Retirement can present additional challenges for those whose career was an important source of identity and self-worth. For some people, retirement also involves an adjustment to spending a lot more time around their spouse. For those who are not in a relationship, they may unexpectedly end up spending a lot more time alone, without the daily social interactions of their work environment. Thinking seriously about these issues ahead of time can result in a much smoother transition into retirement, and a much better outcome.
