Retirement might be more stressful than you think!

Retirement is theoretically a relaxing time designed to reward years of hard work, but it can be anything but calming for retirees used to living with the routines and financial security of full time employment. It is a major life change, and retirees face the pressure of making a series of major financial and lifestyle decisions such as selling the home to downsize, moving house, sorting possessions, revising living expenses and budgets, re-negotiating relationships and perhaps relocating to a new area at the same time.

Experts offer constructive suggestions for managing this adjustment, and settling into a new lifestyle in retirement while maintaining physical, mental and emotional well-being.
