Not everybody can plan their retirement in a way, that the enjoy their after work life with same enthusiasm and fun. There are some things that we can learn from others who have made the transition into the kind of life that they wanted. Some would say that they were “happily retired”, while others wouldn’t even admit to being retired at all! That’s the point–this next phase of your life will be about living the kind of life that YOU decide. It might include work, it might be travel or it might be learning and doing new things!
The truth is, even though most professionals look forward to retirement, the loss of a job can be unexpectedly traumatic. According to psychologists, jobs provide mental health benefits including:
The key to a positive retirement is to ensure these benefits don’t get lost, but are simply experienced in a different way.
Staying active is key to post retirement agenda, be it both mentally and physically. Retirement can be emotionally devastating. Instead of sitting around feeling sorry for yourself, volunteer your time, years of experience, and wisdom to help fulfill your need for accomplishment and recognition. The average person has roughly 20 years of life remaining after retirement – time enough to write a masterpiece, run a marathon, or mentor hundreds of youth. There’s even time to do nothing, discover the beauty of grandkids, or rekindle the romance of a long relationship. Tomorrow can be the beginning of new adventures, new joys, and greater successes – how you spend it is up to you. Hence retirement should be taken positively and brave it as any other phase of life.

Retirement should be enjoyable, where both couples who had worked for so many years can finally relax and enjoy. They should had careful planning, especially on the financial aspect so they can go on with their dream activities like traveling, going to nice places like a health spa; etc.
A crisply written article covering this particular topic of retirement. Here generally I find people who are serving in government jobs happily retired as they get pension and other benefits which accrue to them at the end of their service. But the same is not true in the private sector. A large number of people in the country do not have social security or pensions and live a hand to mouth existence. For many there is not such thing as a retirement. As many in the private sector continue working till their death. One more problem these people in private sector face is that they are unable to see more than a month as the kind of jobs are salaries are such.
It is only a few who are fortunate to plan their retirement in advance in private sectors and they are professionals drawing handsome salaries. For other the graveyard is the only place to permanently retire. That is the sad fact here. A good article touching on a very important topic well appreciated.
