Retirement as Personal Fulfillment: Achieving Independence
Psychology Today | 18.10.2026 20:07
Those who love their jobs joke that they have not “worked” a day in their lives. Yet for most of us, we work to live, not the other way around. Yet as we age, priorities change. Older adults may decide to spend more time with loved ones and less time laboring for a paycheck. Our legacy becomes more about leaving the world a better place, not how many hours we worked. This positive attitude change impacts the way we approach retirement.
