Don’t underestimate the transition to retirement. How do you build a bridge from your full-time working life to your new life of freedom in retirement? It starts with doing your homework and managing your expectations for the transition period. Many people expect it to be like that last day of school before summer – running off to full-time fun, only without school resuming in the fall. But the transition usually unfolds in a series of phases – and learning more about them prepares you to anticipate, plan well and get the most out of your retirement years.
