The transition into the life stage we still refer to as 'retirement' is a dramatic lifestyle change for most people. Those people who are not prepared for it often fall into the trap thinkings its all about financial planning and holiday making. Many people at this life stage are not aware of the issues that are likely to confront them.
The baby boomer generation is facing dramatic lifestyle change upon reaching retirement. The biggest issue for many is how to handle the change such as new working relationships, personal relationship changes and how to handle, effectively, a whole new life.
Case Study File:
Sally and Peter shifted overseas for Peter's work as a CEO a year ago. Sally has been looking forward to retirement for a long time, but her husband is reluctant.
"My husband won't even consider retirement. Over the years he has become his job, he doesn't seem to be able to give it up ; being in charge and having demanding challenges every day. Though at the same time he complains a lot about the demands and stresses of his job. We need a way to be able to talk about our future if it is to be one of being together, because there are things in my life I would like to do and achieve also."
Ted on the other hand, has been working long days in his trade for most of his life and just can't do the long days five days a week anymore, but he's not ready to totally retire yet. His partner Cath, is worried about his health and his grummyness that is wearing their relationship down. Ted knows that something has to change but doesn't know where to begin let alone what his options are.
