[quote=Anonymous]I retired at 55 a year ago and honestly it’s been hard. I don’t have much of a social circle other than my partner, and it was difficult to suddenly not have the social connection of work. In one week you go from busy and “connected” to crickets. I got depressed and started staying in bed all day. I’ve started to pull myself together by volunteering at a food bank. Even though serving the homeless isn’t a particular passion of mine, I love having a regular pattern to my day, and the teamwork of the food pantry. At least for me, having some purpose in life is a prerequisite for happiness in retirement. [/quote]
