3. You Can’t Adjust to Your New Life
Though everyone loves painting a pretty picture about retirement, the truth is that many people are having a hard time adjusting. If you’re not the kind of person that enjoys traveling or retirement-friendly activities then there’s no point in forcing yourself to partake in them.
Boredom might take over. You might find it difficult to operate without a schedule. Not a lot of people can even admit to this out of fear of sounding like they’re workaholics. In worse cases, people might say they’re even ungrateful for the free time they have!
Don’t give in to peer pressure. Go back to work if you have to, either part-time or full time. The choice is yours!
4. You’ve Lost Social Connections
The moment you leave your job, a lot of your social connections will be lost. If you live away from family and aren’t close friends with your neighbors you could end up feeling isolated.
Did you know that loneliness and isolation could trigger physiological changes? These could increase your chances of premature death by 14%, according to a study conducted by the University of Chicago.
Going back to work could help supplement your social needs, especially if you’re having a hard time making new friends.
