My dad is retired and my mom is retiring in the next month and they are a bit anxious with the unknown of retirement. My dad has been trying to adapt to the change for the past little bit, and my mom is nervous. It's almost like a 50/50 excitement and also angst due to not knowing how to make the most of it. Is this a common feeling? What worked for you to resolve any angst you had, or are you still figuring it out? Just want to gather some insights to hopefully help my parents through this transition.

My dad retired about eight months ago after 35 years in the same career. He told me recently that the hardest part wasn't the financial side of things, it was more so understanding what to do with all the free time and making sure he is getting the most out of retirement. Anyone else going through this or experience this?

Hi there!
