This person is asking, if the transition into retirement is so difficult, why retire at all? And the reason you would retire even though the transition is difficult is that the benefits that you get from retirement outweigh the discomfort that you feel during the transition. It's like a lot of things we do where we feel like in the midst of it, we feel like, man, was this even worth it? And then once we're through it, we're like, oh, yeah, yeah, it was totally worth it. And so that's why we retire, even though we may go through some transitional discomfort, because the ultimate outcome is more than worth the initial discomfort. Thanks for the comment.
