Are there any women around you who are still living comfortably after retirement?

It is true that there are many women around me who live a carefree and comfortable life after retirement. Sometimes, I also envy their relaxed, comfortable, joyful and contented life.

I know an older lady in Shanghai who just retired in September this year. In just two or three months, my husband and I, as well as a few little sisters we were close to, traveled all over the country. I just came back from Zhangjiajie, rested for three to five days, and then went to Guizhou non-stop. Immediately afterwards, I booked a flight to Guilin. After eating, drinking and having fun in Guilin until we were satisfied, we went on a seven-day trip to Taiwan with my husband and friends. Looking at the refreshing scenery shared in her circle of friends, the three-foot-long delicious food, and the various displays of affection with her husband, I really felt that life could be so beautiful.

I also have a friend’s mother, an old lady in her 80s. Don’t spend this day too fulfillingly. Have their own circle and rhythm of life. I also have to fly and travel abroad every year.

Of course, there are also women around who live a unhappy life after retirement. Suddenly there was no need to work or any stress. It feels like suddenly, there is no sense of being needed anymore. You will feel very lost inside. In addition, the rhythm of life that has been worked for decades is suddenly disrupted. If you are not good at adjusting and arranging things according to your own preferences, you will have symptoms such as low mood, no interest in doing anything, and irritability and irritability. This is called retirement syndrome.

Therefore, whether or not to retire has no fundamental relationship with living conditions. The most essential thing is a person’s attitude towards life. A person who loves life and is optimistic, whether she is retired or working, she can arrange her life in a busy and orderly manner. Therefore, what we have to do is to cultivate a strong heart and a sunny mentality. Instead of worrying about the gains and losses of retirement or planning and starting a better life after retirement. Live in the moment and live every day in the moment.
