Tell Us Your Story
Please share your next phase story. What were you doing before the transition? What motivated the transition? What are you doing now? Use the questions below as prompts, if you like. Or just write what you fell like writing. The more details you provide, the more useful your story will be to others.
You’re no retirement rookie! So, share your story with us. Whether you found the formula for retirement success, or learned the path not to take, post your insights here so that others can gain confidence and learn from your experiences.
QUESTIONS:
- How did your decision to retire come about?
- What do you miss most about your pre-transition/retirement life?
- What were your major roadblocks and how did you try to overcome them?
- Did you try anything that did not work out?
- What do you enjoy most about this current stage in your life?
- How has retirement changed your daily life? (Consider location, finances, family, friends, activities, spirituality)
- How have you managed to stay in touch with friends, family, community, former co-workers and colleagues?
- If you could go back in time, what areas of your transition/retirement would you change or handle differently?
- Have you tackled anything that you’ve ‘always wanted to do’ but never had the time before? Please elaborate.
- What is your advice to someone going through, or about to go through, a major transition like retirement?
