[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m retiring too. I do have some money to travel so I’m gonna spend the year traveling and then I’m going to work part-time.

I’m the youngest of a large family so I have a few family members who are also retired.

They’ve said volunteering is very hard because they over schedule or you can’t get shifts. Then you feel like you’re just standing around doing nothing.

I’m going to play pickle ball, golf, work part-time.

I can’t imagine not having a lot of things to do. [/quote]

I agree!

But for some people, their entire entity is tied up in work that they don't know how to proceed without it.  It can be difficult as well if you were an executive, and now don't have anything "to be in charge of".  You go from being one of the most valued, listened to, important people in your day to just being a "normal person" (and trust me, your spouse doesn't want you being the boss at home)

I am a semi retired executive. It’s not just identity and being in charge; it’s that I have so much more drive and energy than my spouse and friends which work absorbs. I work about 30 hours a week which is part time in my world. I also have much more flexibility to travel, volunteer, take a day off on the spur of the moment etc than many other people.[/quote]
