What to do - The 5 Emotional Stages of Retirement: How to Adjust

[@frederickruderman2997]

Thanks a bunch for posting this video. I retired, May 2023, after 42 years, mostly in financial services. I moved from the honeymoon stage to disenchantment quickly and deeply. I’m clawing my way back & will never give up until I can regain a purpose & my enthusiasm. I was sooo dumb I thought a happy retirement was financial security only. It doesn’t matter now though, it’s done, I have to make this work. I know I can do it, but somedays it’s difficult. So difficult it’s hard to comprehend. I know I can be happy again and I must make it happen. Thanks again

I'm now less than a year from hitting my 30 year end. I've always been a planner my entire life. I will not live high on the hog, but will be able to survive with some minor comforts. About the way my life has been throughout. I'm alright with that. The part I'm struggling with is being able to make the date. I plan on getting a part time job or opening a small business of interest of things I have skills of or enjoy. The rest you've mentioned makes good sense. My personal input to anyone reading this, retirement as soon as possible as time goes way too quick. There will never be enough money! Learn to live within your finical means. Great video. Thank you and I am now a subscriber. God Bless

Can't leave out the SPIRITUAL major aspect of our human existence.

[@CynMeyerSecondWindMovement]

Thank you for bringing up such an important aspect. While this video focuses on the emotional stages of retirement, I completely agree that the spiritual dimension plays a crucial role in our overall journey. 😊

Thank you so much for the very helpful information. I retired from my full time work 4&1/2 years ago. It was much more complicated than I expected. I didn’t deal well with it, so returned to work doing temporary nursing jobs. My health is no longer up to it, so I’m starting my “second” retirement. This time around I will better understand and be ready for the process.❤

Congratulations on stepping into your "second" retirement! It's never quite as simple as it seems, is it? But hey, you've got the wisdom of experience on your side this time 🤗

Im at the disenchantment stage, thank you, you may be what I need right now. 😊

[@CynMeyerSecondWindMovement]

You got this! ❤️

Why do people always want to travel? I retire in two weeks and people keep asking me where I am going to travel to. I am hoping for less travel!

[@CynMeyerSecondWindMovement]

Congratulations on your upcoming retirement! It's wonderful to hear that you'll soon have the freedom to shape your days exactly as you wish. While many people find joy and excitement in traveling, it's perfectly okay to look forward to the comfort of home and routines you love. Retirement is all about doing what brings you happiness, whether that means exploring new places or enjoying the familiar ones. Here’s to a fulfilling and enjoyable retirement, filled with whatever makes you happiest! ❤️
