Better not to prepare well from one hundred to zero retirement better

For workers who can expect to retire soon, the anticipation is often great. However, not everyone copes equally well when employment suddenly falls from one hundred to zero. For many, it would be better to "sneak out" of the job and prepare well for retirement.
Avoiding everyday retirement
Upon retirement, many retirees fall into a kind of hole. The lack of professional tasks often lead to an emptiness in everyday life, which can be associated with significant mental health problems. Ideally, aspiring retirees should look for hobbies before they retire to avoid retirement in their everyday lives. For example, experts suggest that seniors try a lot of sports to find out what they like. Also, do not work through to the last day to prepare for your upcoming retirement. This is indicated by the magazine "Seniors Guide" on their homepage.

Changing from one hundred to zero is difficult
The age researcher and author Professor Eckart Hammer recommends: "Do not work your way through to the last day." The change from one hundred to zero makes the change particularly difficult. Therefore one should reduce the working time early. Semi-retirement is a good way to prepare for retirement. "You should also make it clear that colleagues are not friends," says Hammer. People who retire often fall into an emotional hole, as they fill the job to the full and this is suddenly absent in retirement.

Seeking meaningful employment
Countermeasures can be the problem with a good preparation and a meaningful employment. For example, with a volunteer or charitable work, as the magazine advises. "It can be useful, above all for men, to find an activity in which they have meaning for others," says Hammer. Women, according to experts, often easier. "Women are already on several legs early on," says Hammer. Not only do they live for work, but they often take more care of the household, the children and their social contacts. (Ad)
