Many people suddenly find themselves missing the social interaction they had with people at work. They miss the fulfillment, achievement, and recognition they got from doing their jobs. They try to keep busy, but keeping busy is just not fulfilling any longer. Now what do they do for the rest of their retirement years?
Big problem for new retirees – Boredom
The B word comes into their vocabulary. They are bored and do not know what to do with their time. There three things you need to enjoy retirement. You need your health, you need a good financial plan that matches your lifestyle plans and you need the most important thing, a purpose in life.
For some consumers finding a purpose in life means looking after the grand kids. For others it means returning to the work force in a new career. Many start hobbies which turn into jobs. The most important element that these thing s must have is that they look forward to getting up in the morning and pursuing their purpose.
Everyone has something different. Each person needs to find out what works for them. Their purpose could change over time as well. They might start out on a hobby which leads to other things that they find more interesting. Whatever it is, try many alternatives until you find the one that works for your personal situation at your time of life.
