Strategies for Transitions to Retirement
By Mary Gallinger
A Comprehensive Study on Retirement Concerns of Today!
Are you ready for retirement? How can individuals plan for the gradual
shift from working to retirement? How can they make the psychological
transition from working to not working?
Many retirees become ill within a year of leaving work because they fail
to plan for a gradual shift from working to retirement. Individuals with
outside interests are at less risk than people who spend 60 hours a week
on the job, but even hobbies and interests have to be refined prior to
retirement.
For many people, one of the most profound periods of change is their time
of retirement. People's needs and attitudes and different, however, no
matter what their personal goals, current age and economic circumstances
may be, the strategies they employ to plan for a satisfying retirement
are crucial to their mental happiness, physical health and general
survival. These strategies will either enhance the quality of their
golden years or shorten them drastically.
