The article explores the emotional complexities surrounding retirement, particularly the feelings of guilt and loss that can arise even when one is financially prepared. A Redditor shares their experience of resigning from work, only to feel immediate guilt about leaving their team and clients behind. Despite having the means to retire comfortably, the process of detaching from a long-term job can be challenging and emotionally charged. The article suggests considering consulting or hobbies as viable options to ease the transition into retirement.
Even if you hate your job, it provides a sense of purpose and a schedule you have lived by for decades that is about to disappear forever.
The hope is that everyone can leave the workforce with plenty of time to be active, but feeling emptiness after it's all over is perfectly okay.
Their feelings of guilt began immediately when they realized it was up to them to tell their team what was happening and advise all of their clients that they were leaving.
However, this Redditor is less concerned about the financial aspect of retirement, as they have more than enough money to retire comfortably.
