Want a happy retirement? Of course, you do! The Dalai Lama himself described happiness as “the purpose of our lives.” At retirement, however, that desire often becomes an expectation. A white paper from Empower even found that 83% of pre-retirees expect to “live their best life” in retirement. After all, it’s the moment you’ve been working toward.
Indeed, retirees are generally happier. But it’d be wrong to think once you clock out for the last time, you can finally be happy. This is because happiness is more than just a feeling — it can take some work.
