Retire already… then what?

[AKG Career Buddy]

For those thinking about retirement — have you ever wondered what life will feel like when work is no longer part of your everyday routine?

We came across this interesting CNA commentary on one retiree’s first month after leaving a four-decade career:

“Who am I when the phone stops ringing? Lessons from my first month of retirement”
https://www.channelnewsasia.com/com...-identity-meaning-phone-stops-ringing-6298296

One part stood out:

“The silence that comes with retirement, however, can be disorienting. I found myself asking a question that I suspect many retirees confront: What happens when work no longer defines who I am?”

We often prepare financially for retirement, but what about the sense of purpose and routine that work gives us?

For some, retirement means slowing down. For others, it could mean staying active through mentoring, volunteering, part-time or fractional work.

If you’re approaching retirement, what would you want this next stage to look like?

And if you’re already retired — was the transition what you expected?

you dont retire from something, you retire into something. in my case is the respectable milfs in bangkok.

To me, it is incredibly sad that ppl build their identity and purpose ard their job.

Create a brand new routine with plenty of new adventures.
Why should we worry about what comes after?

obviously CNA being enablers of an authoritarian regime wants to spin a narrative that working to your grave is the best option all the while the state washes it hands off our working elderly! win-win for whitey n pals : poor/nonexistent workers/human rights in your best years then continue the exploitation when chui old n vulnerable...

活到老，学到老
活到老，做到死
This is 2 different concept.
Life is not about work and CPF .
Some people have only got 1 working experience and thinks that work is everything.
Some people only thinks about CPF and needs to commit 100% into it .
Life is more than that and it is about experience.
