Does Retirement Lead to Additional Stress?

The idea of retirement is one that’s filled with plenty of rest and relaxation, but the reality is stress doesn’t go away. From losing the structure of a daily routine to the challenges of socializing and finding a new purpose, the pitfalls of retirement can certainly increase the stress you’re feeling.

Whether you're six months or several years away from retirement, this topic could change the way you approach your golden years.
