Very often the retirement experience turns out to be different than what we originally anticipated it to be. After an initial period of 12 months the honeymoon phase usually wears off and people start to feel bored, restless and disconnected from others.
In our North American culture we have been led to believe that a happy retirement is synonymous with the accumulation of a big nest egg. Yet countless studies indicate that a HAPPY retirement requires vision, preparation, commitment and creativity. It requires that we ask ourselves, "WHAT'S NEXT" long before we exit the workforce.
When people have a better understanding of the challenges they face as new retirees, they are better equipped to navigate the retirement transition and they are more satisfied with their lives once retired.
