WSJ Your Money Briefing · Why People Can’t Figure Out When It’s Time to Retire · 13 Nov 2023 podcast

And if you don't have that and you don't have a rhythm and you don't have a routine, it can make people really miserable. voice-verified

Yes. voice-verified

I talked to someone who retired a few years ago who had a couple good tests around this. voice-verified

One was to think about when you're in an elevator and you have just a few floors to introduce yourself to someone, what do you want that conversation to be? voice-verified

Do you want it to be, I work in sales for X big company? voice-verified

Or do you want it to be more around, I'm a father and I'm a husband and I volunteer with this organization? voice-verified

And that's not to say that you can't do that while you're still working and make that shift. voice-verified

Thinking about your legacy and like, what would my obituary say? voice-verified

Even for many of the most accomplished executives, their careers are only a sentence or two in their obituary. voice-verified

The point is to start early. voice-verified

And so think a lot about your various identities. voice-verified

Try out different activities to see which might be meaningful and bring you purpose before you actually make the shift into retirement. voice-verified

It's all about experimentation. voice-verified

I talked to people who couldn't wait to spend their whole life golfing when they were retired and then found that when golf wasn't a distraction for voice-verified

When it was the only thing they had to do, it became a lot less fun. voice-verified

So you might be surprised by what you actually find fulfillment in. voice-verified

You might find that like being a salesperson or a physician is such a cherished identity that you're not ready to let it go yet. voice-verified

And you want to keep revisiting. voice-verified

visiting that every few months until you kind of find that you're ready. voice-verified

If you're not getting there, but you are feeling like you might need to push yourself in that direction, another good thing to do is take a look at your life as a whole. voice-verified
