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

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.❤

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!
