[quote=Anonymous][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] This makes me sad. I hope you can find your place outside of work. You are very fortunate and just need to find the thing(s) that will fulfill you during this new chapter of your life. Good luck! I am not attached in any way to my career, so I am looking forward to walking away from it and never looking back. [/quote]
