Hang up the work clothes, turn off the alarm
clock and forget about those “back-to-work blues.” You made it: welcome to retirement. While many people view retirement as an
event, we like to think of it as a process that includes several different
stages or “stops” along the way.
Depending on what stage you find yourself in, your feelings towards
retirement may vary a great deal. In
fact, according to researcher Robert Atchley, retirement can be broken down
into six distinct phases; two of which we will discuss in this post: The
Honeymoon Phase and the Disenchantment Phase.
