Emotions Around Retirement

Hi:

How do you feel about retiring? It seems that this question evokes a wide array of emotions.

Some people can hardly wait! They are looking forward to the days ahead with anticipation. Actively planning their next stage, they surf the web, borrow dvd's of exotic places to visit and talk about it - a lot.

I've met some who say they have three years, four months, seven days, and then look at their watch and tell me the hours and minutes until they retire. That seems a bit macabre to me. Is it anticipation or putting in time in a job they hate? I think it's the latter and I somehow think they might be disappointed in retirement.

More on this tomorrow.
