I wrote an article a couple of years ago about the surprises I encountered within a month of retirement that seemed to resonate with a lot of people. Some of what I said, a few people experienced. Others agreed about the surprises I encountered, such as losing “friends” from my former employer. I got a lot of feedback on that one. I appreciate all the responses I got to that article.
So, I think it’s time for another article along those same lines of surprises. This time, I’m going to write about 5 surprises I encountered one year after retirement. It’s been a long time since I celebrated my one-year anniversary of retirement. So, I had to sit down and remember all of what surprised me and what took place.
