If you want to have a happy and fulfilling retirement, you have to get away from living your life like you still have a job. It's time to explore your creative side! Take some art or music classes, develop your spiritual side, and don't be afraid to try new things. This should be the happiest and most fulfilling time of your life - you are not tied to a job and you can do what you want to do. My son bought me a book called "What Color is Your Parachute? for Retirement" by Richard Bolles. It has really helped me to make the transition to thinking about retirement in a different light. Good luck as you move into this new and exciting stage of your life!
