[quote=Anonymous]Research shows that people who maintain a sense of purpose live longer, healthier lives. Many people tie a sense of purpose and meaning to their work, especially if they enjoy it and they use it to help define who they are. They fear losing that with the retirement. Some find other ways to nurture purpose and meaning as they age, whether it’s family, volunteering, gardening, writing, whatever. But many feel that doesn’t fill the particular void leaving their careers will bring. This of course often doesn’t play out in real life. Technology passes them by. They can’t keep up the schedule. They aren’t productive. Memory issues get in the way. Then people get depressed. This is why people who feel that way about work need to do more than plan financially for retirement. Traveling and puttering about gets old in about a year. They need to have a retirement plan for purpose. [/quote]
