If you are members of different groups that you are involved with.

And then, as I mentioned before, whether your retirement is voluntary or involuntary, but either way,

I don't know if anybody remembers the Holmes-Ray stress scale.

I think it's also called the social readjustment stress scale.

That's where certain life events cause us stress.

Now, stress isn't always negative, right?

It's also positive.

So like death of a spouse is the number one stressful thing that causes stress for us.

Retirement is number 10 on the list.

And other things on there are

uh, divorce, marital separation, uh, being incarcerated, death of a family member, uh, personal injury or illness, um, being fired or laid off different from retirement, you know, from retirement.

Um, and, uh, so, oh, even marital, oh, marriage.

Okay.

Even though it's a positive, it's still a stress.

So there's a list of these top 10 things that, um,

It's helpful to know.

That's why oftentimes they say, well, if you lose a spouse, don't move like right away because that's another major stress.

So it's just one of these things that retirement is on a list, even though it might be great to retire, it still does create stress in our lives.

Go ahead.

That's the capsule summary that there are two sides to this.
