Some comments from people contemplating retirement 1. I don't know what I am going to do with myself 2. I can't wait. I can sleep in every day and do whatever I want. 3. It'll be great. We will travel and play golf and visit my old work mates. 4. I'm looking forward to it. I'll do all those jobs I never got around to and spend a lot more time with the children and grandchildren. 5. We will be able to share all the household tasks and spend a lot more time together. 6. I'm going to write a book (or learn the piano or whatever). Are there any traps in these attitudes? Some comments from people after they have been retired a while. 1. I don’t know how I found time to work. 2. I wish he would get out from under my feet. 3. I have become an unpaid child minder. I love my grandchildren but....... 4. I don't feel that I am important any more. 5. I miss the conversations and mental stimulation that I got at work. 6. I am enjoying my retirement but it gets a bit boring. Every day seems the same. What do these comments say about the sort of retirement that this person has arranged for herself/himself?. Back |
