Mrs. U is pushing me to slow down massively. I've always been a workhorse. One of the top 2 or 3 in the firm hours and income-in-the-door wise. She wants me to drop back to a point where I am at about 60 - 70% of what I've traditionally done by the end of 2019, and then even more thereafter. I have to tell you, the idea of not working (as much) is bringing me massive stress. Is it the idea of not being the 'big dog'? Not being 'important'? Not going to work every day? It's not a money thing, it's more intangible. So..., naturally, I've turned to the internet for information....
From the article: I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but retirement doesn’t always turn out the way people think. Primarily because this stage of life can intersect with an avalanche of activity that causes a massive amount of stress, worry and anxiety. As a result, people can often suffer in silence as they try to figure out what’s going on. Therefore, I want to share some scientific evidence to help you make better sense of it. This research is a major reason why traditional retirement planning needs to be revamped to include more non -financial training and knowledge.
