I am 67, not retired. My goal is to find something I am good at so I can have friends. That is pretty much it for me.

Seven key lessons that I think apply to all retirees-they certainly did to me.

People are conditioned to think it is their identity in the UK. Most people in continental European countries could not care less about being retired and not doing much because they go through their working life seeing it as a means to an end not the other way around. Most meetings are a waste of time and work is a space shared with other people who are not your friends no matter what some might think. Life is short and no-one is going to wish they had worked harder and for longer when they reach the end of their life. Ego tied up with the sense of identity in the workplace is part of the reason why many people find it difficult to make the transition from work to retirement- letting it go is key to peace of mind. Most people would not be in work unless they needed the money-anyone financially secure enough to retire is better off out of the workplace, which is often toxic. There is a lot to be said for not doing much. Medieval peasants worked less days per year than people today and died younger. Work is a con and trap set by capitalism's exploitation of labour for the benefit of the few.

Surely before retirement early, you take 2 weeks off and see how it is. I'll never be able to retire as can't afford it.
