Retired at 55: After Years of Stress, Now What? 😱🏡

Today marks my first day of retirement at 55, and honestly, it still doesn’t feel real. I only told my boss I was leaving ten days ago, even though I’d been quietly planning this for a year. The stress of not knowing when to finally pull the trigger was overwhelming, especially with all the office politics and constant pressure to perform. Now, I’ve bought a new house in a different city and am trying to sell my old one. The uncertainty of the housing market is just another layer of anxiety. Once it sells, everything will be paid off, but until then, I’m stuck in limbo. What’s really throwing me off is waking up and realizing I don’t have to go to work anymore. I’m excited to spend more time with my granddaughter, but I can’t shake the feeling that I’m missing something. Has anyone else felt this lost after leaving a stressful job? How did you cope with the transition? I’d love to hear your advice! 😊 #JobCareer #Career #RetirementJourney
