HOW TO HAVE A HAPPY RETIREMENT - THINGS I WISH I HAD KNOWN BEFORE MY EARLY RETIREMENT

Life is busy when we are raising a family, going to school and/or working a full-time job. Retirement is the loss of not only a portion of your income, but the loss as well as gains of other things. An early retirement that is unplanned can leave you lost. That is what happened to me and this is how I got to where I can now say that I am enjoying retirement. I am not anxious about it or my income. I am learning the skills I need to cope and one of those skills is accepting help. Just in the last month since I started going to the retirement center, I have had a huge burden lifted off me in terms of worry about food prices. I feel more comfortable in spending a little more money elsewhere like in hiring someone to do some stuff around the house. This video is my process in learning to live in retirement and hopefully to live happily for a LONG time.
