A happy retirement means more than just financial security, it’s about finding a sense of purpose.
If you’ve spent the last 40 years following a 9-5 routine, that initial sense of freedom can be overwhelming. But there are ways to ease the transition and make sure you’re getting the most out of retirement.
Here are five ways to get started.
1. Connect with people
Social connections make life worth living.
While coronavirus is making face-to-face interactions more difficult, there's still plenty of ways to meet up with old friends or make new ones.
And speaking of new friends, consider some of the following options to expand your social circle.
- Join an online community
- Volunteer your services
- Join a gardening co-op
- Offer dog walking services
