What were you thinking? [View all]
What were you thinking pre-retirement? I can't seem to categorize what I want to know, and I thought maybe some who've been there had ideas.
Because it seems like sorting out the direction is the least of anyone's worries. If I talk to the aging agency, they want to put you through Medicare worksheets and prescription plans. Once they push those alarm bells, it's the financial planner which leads to the employment department. And the senior housing, and a cruise and travel and the grandkids. I have no intention of listening or doing any of that. I'm in a downsizing phase that's going so-so, and the pandemic has cramped connecting to the world for obvious reasons. But what is the next step? It's none of the above. But yet I don't know what it is. This is not an exploration/therapy endeavor. Change will be slow. In fact I doubt much will change. It's hard to flip old housing stock into change. I talk to seniors at a service group I belong to, everyone just scurries to the super and plods onward.
If I'm exhibiting insanity, don't hesitate to say so. I won't be offended. I'd likely agree with you.
