У меня растут года: пенсия не за горами. Чем заняться мне тогда?

As said resilient postman Pechkin from the cartoon "Holidays in Prostokvashino". Remember?

And he's right: go to retire, is to begin a new period of life. A is the future of "young" retirees to change, coming together with the new social status?

More "no" than "Yes."

Because he thinks the majority of working people about pensions: "Here I will retire, and then relax, read, build, connect..."

And here comes the long-awaited freedom: to work, leisure time became, at least 8 hours. And health it seems to be good. Here to live Yes to rejoice, to remember about their plans and begin to implement them. Yes, there it was. And the main reason is not lack of money.

According to sociologists and psychologists, retirement is another life crisis, a time of great change: changes in social status, reduced income, age "felt" more clearly. This turning point in a person's life, comparable to the degree of "peredomnoy" with the choice of profession or marriage.

But you can consider retirement as a time of finding new life: how the opportunity to engage, finally, a hobby that abandoned due to perpetual employment. And it's a chance to discover a new ability to paint life with new colors.

the Loss of everyday behaviors - that is one of the potent consequences of retirement. The person feels "unsettled", confused and unfulfilled. This condition can provoke aggression, directed both at others and yourself.

the Right choice of classes: for the soul and the forces of the respective abilities and interests, is the source of a long, active and joyous life.

And among pensioners there are many people who managed to find new employment, new social circle. Because of this, they survive the transition to a retirement lifestyle gently: maintain health and self-esteem, accept their status without serious psychological trauma.

Agree: nothing inspires better than an example of how, real people, retirement, discovered new talents, found hobby, to the delight of myself and for the benefit of people. And the financial situation also improve able.

Idleness accelerates the onset of old age, labor prolong our youth.
