@jeanne_retired: I’m wondering if the age at which you retire… impacts the transition to retirement? WDYT? #retirement #retireearly #retire #retired #retirementplanning #genx #boomer #retirementstruggles
Once I left work all those friends and connections ceased. Had a lunch with some people that worked for me and all they did was complain. If your work pals still work expect to be invisible.

Retired at 55. Downsized to a cottage in a seaside village. Plenty of clubs to keep us busy plus the waterfront. Took a few years to earn respect of the elders by volunteering in town 😀

62. Planned on retiring at 61 but kept delaying it. Has only been a month. Biggest prob is remembering I am retired. I still spend weekdays ‘up’ and have to remind myself, 50 times a day, to chill.

I retired at 61 from my job a PT. I was able to ease right into it. I retired in November so holidays just after I retired may have helped, plus not having to go to work in the winter months .

58 seems like it has been more of a problem for those who have never seen me not working they don’t know how to act around me now like I’m sick or something bc that is the only time I wasn’t working

My wife and I retired at 48. The best decision ever. We started travelling and enjoying life. Meeting new friends and loving every day. Some boredom but better than a 60+ hour work week.
