38 Years of Work, Retirement Feels So Anticlimactic! 🥲

After 38 years of grinding away at my job, I thought retirement would feel like a huge celebration. I even suggested to my husband that we escape the cold and spend a few days in sunny Orlando. But he reminded me that our daughter is starting college soon, and he wants to be here for her. I get it, but it still stings a little. Honestly, it all feels a bit underwhelming. I spent years dealing with endless meetings, last-minute emergencies, and the stress of rush hour traffic. Now, my first real day of retirement is just... quiet. I’m about to go for a long hike, and maybe that’s enough. But is it normal to feel this lost? Has anyone else felt this way after leaving work behind? How did you handle the sudden change? I’d love to hear your advice or stories. 🥺 #JobCareer #Career #RetirementLife
