Transcript

Live your own retirement. Don't worry about what your brother-in-law did or what your sister's friends, co-workers, best friend did in their retirement. Live your retirement. I find that one of the things that I struggled with most was when I would hear about all the cool stuff some other retired person was doing, and it robbed me of the joy that I should have been having in my own retirement because I was comparing my retirement to theirs. What I figured out eventually was I had to build my own retirement life that fit me. I wasn't going to be able to live someone else's retirement. So don't worry about what other people are doing in their retirement. Figure out what makes you happy. Do that. And don't even listen to any feedback you're getting from anyone on how you're living your retirement. It's yours. You should enjoy it the way you want to enjoy it. And that does take time. So don't feel bad if you're frustrated. First year, two, three are just you figuring it out. That's the whole idea. You've got the time to think it through and build a retirement that actually makes you happy. Don't be in a hurry to do it and don't live someone else's retirement.
