What do you do if you're an economist facing emotional challenges during retirement transition?

I actually disagree with the "Keep learning" point it is important to keep learning and to stay relevant. At the same time it's not practical for an Economist to regress back to the learning methods of a novice Economist.When a Economist reaches retirement stage,they should have +-40 years industry experience and this experience should make an Economist a consultant or reference to share views and dynamics to news rooms,Governments etc Ofcourse studies and further learnings are necessary but knowledge and work experience gained should not be overlooked or side lined but assist in many aspects that can contribute to a constructive working and assistance on multi lateral projects and broad based projects that have complexities of economics.

Consider working with a learning solutions firm to capture your knowledge and share it with the next generation. Strong economists are adept at understanding and communicating patterns and trends. Your insights are valuable and turning them into training solutions is a way to pass that critical knowledge on to those who come next. Often in economics, we lose the "why" and your real-life stories, anecdotes and experience with economic principles in the real world can draw these connections for young people.

Stay connected & stay relevant. If you were part of a larger organization, retirement means that big sense of belonging gets cut off suddenly. And we feel unwanted & irrelevant. That's never the case. Staying in touch with people, sharing your learning, opinions and views online- all helps in buulding your own standing in the world.

Difiero en esperar a la jubilación para darte el espacio de cuidar tu salud y estado físico. El bienestar te lo va a dar el cuidarte desde que tomas consciencia de que el movimiento es longevidad, así que has ejercicio o muévete de la manera en que te guste desde la edad más temprana posible. Aliméntate bien, construye tu alimentación con base en las necesidades de tu propio cuerpo sin apegarte a tendencias, modas o la sugerencia de influencers que no son especialistas. Trabaja la neuroplasticidad, esto hará que tu cerebro no envejezca. Y diviértete.

No tengo experiencia con mi jubilación, pero si como asesor financiero afrontando la jubilación de mis clientes. No hay dos casos iguales, pero si un denominador común a la hora de afrontar emocionalmente la transición vital que supone la jubilación. Objetivamente, hay que continuar el plan financiero trazado y ejecutado hasta el momento, siempre que los resultados lo avalen. Subjetivamente, esto viene a confirmar que el desafío emocional debe abordarse desde un plano personal. Se trata de afrontar una nueva etapa vital para la que debemos prepararnos, desde un prisma diferente. Buscando la motivación necesaria. Buscando nuevos hábitos y encontrando el sentido tras lo que probablemente, representa el cambio más difícil de nuestras vidas.

Financial security can be a great booster of mental peace and an antidote to anxiety. It can really enable you to enjoy this golden period to the fullest!
