Retirement Concerns
Growing into Retirement After the initial eagerness that comes with brand-new retirement, three or four-year-new retirees start the battle with unexpected guilt. “Feeling guilty after the reality of retirement is quite common,” says Joe Hearn of the BLOG Intentional Retirement. The transition of having more time can surprise people who spent decades working on hyper-speed obligations, deadlines and raising a family. “It’s normal,” he insists, “and should eventually settle down once adjustments are made.” You may start feeling guilty because you are aware of your work cessation while plenty of others keep going to work (for reasons of their own). For many in retirement, this can create a sense of guilt.
