What will happen when you retire?
More than half of people expect to continue working during what might have previously been viewed as a traditional retirement.
18% of those who expect to continue working plan to stay in full time employment and one in four plan to work on a part time basis to boost their income in retirement.
Those who can afford to retire might not choose this option.
The average retiree gets bored of not working after only ten months and will then look for other ways in which to fill their time.
Martin talks through the seven things people typically miss about working when they retire.
1 – workplace banter and colleagues
2 – their job title and the feeling of importance that goes with it
3 – the stress and satisfaction of a job well done
4 – the routine of a 9-5, five days a week
5 – time away from the other half
6 – being kept busy and out of the house
7 – salary!
If you’ve already retired, what did you miss most about working and what steps did you take fill those gaps?
