Post-retirement life can be wonderful or difficult or somewhere in-between. Of course, all Baby Boomers want our retirement years to be wonderful, but some of us have difficulty adjusting to jobless lifestyles.
A number of boomers blame adjustment difficulties on the pre-retirement assumption that post-retirement leisure is sublime. We never imagined that excessive leisure could lead to boredom, lethargy, melancholy, et al.
