It's a question many of us ponder as we transition into retirement: Beyond the financial aspects, what truly sticks with us from our working lives, and what do we find ourselves missing?
For me, like many others, it's the daily banter and camaraderie with customers and colleagues. There's a unique energy in those professional interactions—the quick jokes, shared challenges, and the general buzz of a workplace. It's a specific kind of social connection that's surprisingly hard to replicate.
I've found a great way to fill that void by increasing my participation in social sports like pickleball. It provides that regular, light-hearted interaction and a sense of shared activity that was so present in my working life.
I'm eager to hear from other Humble Dollar readers.
What aspect of your working life do you miss the most since retiring?And more importantly, what have you done—or are you planning to do—to emulate or replace that missing piece?
