9 Things to STOP DOING After 55 To Enjoy Life More

We've helped hundreds of people in their fifties and sixties retire over the past 15 years and one of the surprising things about the most successful and the happiest retirees we know is that they're not the most happy because of the things that they've added to their lives… it's actually because of the things that they stopped doing. So I want to go over the nine things that they stopped doing that actually increased their retirement success and it's increased their overall life satisfaction.

I'm 61 and retired about 3 years ago. I have lost 45 pounds, and my blood pressure has dropped into normal range. A take a walk or bike ride almost every day. I make music and art, garden, cook, read, write, travel, and get to follow my muse wherever it may lead me. I haven't been this happy and healthy since childhood. Retirement is paradise to me. Thank you for your videos.

“Stop oversupporting adult children because they have more time than you”. Brilliant. 🤯Mind blown

[TT-fqpl]

I just turned 60. And you're 100% right: I have come to realize that NOBODY is really ever thinking about me; most people are completely preoccupied with their own narrative. It is indeed liberating to accept this fact.

I retired at 57, 7 years ago. My wife and I saved and invested early allowing me to exit the workforce when I did. We are not special and believe most people can do this with the appropriate level of planning and discipline.

The key message I would communicate to others is don't delay retirement if you have the financial wherewithal to do so. Too often I have seen many people delay retirement and then experience health issues which constrain the very things they wanted to do post-retirement.

Moreover, the most significant benefit of retirement for me is that I no longer have to deal with people I do not want to. That has proved to be the ultimate blessing.

I retired at 67 and love it. A number of my friends have not retired because they struggle to find meaning in their lives outside of work. I cycle, travel, cook for homeless folk, enjoy music concerts and manage my investments. I have no regrets and at 72 enjoy the freedom.

The trick is to make sure you have meaning and purpose.

[dipaknadkarni]

Thank you.
My wife died on active duty Navy in 2014 and is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.
I retired a few years later.
I am retired from nearly 30 years on active duty in the US Navy.
I worked for a few month after, but decided at the age of 61 that there was more to life.
Now. I am doing things that I want which started in the Navy…visiting nearly 100 countries.
I have a couple of things on my bucket list which I am sure that I can complete in the next few years.
God bless all of you.

Why don't any of these retirement channels mention part-time work? Lawyers, doctors and other professionals have this option. I do. I LOVE IT!!!

My dad retired at 65. He worked hard and provided an amazing life for his family and wife. It was a very well deserved retirement. Sadly he only had 10 more reasonable years and then his health declined. He passed away 80.5yo. He deserved a much longer and fulfilling third age of life.

Don’t wait too long.

I Left my job after 17 years when my wife said this job is killing you. It took 2 years to get healthy. Lost 25 pounds and became a Nutrition Coach. I make less money, but don't need the money and am more relaxed and happy.

[pauladosch]

I retired about 8 months ago. I had pretty confident thoughts about the financial aspects. Once I retired, finances became a non-issue. I probably worked too long. I’m playing catch up with having fun travelling and especially health maintenance: eating well, exercise, and sleep. Retiring was among my the best decisions I ever made. It’s like going back to being in college and not taking life too seriously. Work has a way of focusing your attention in a very skewed way. Other parts of life are truly more important.

[Jacquie_Kirk_]

The stress of my teaching job impacted me so badly that I had a health crisis. Not worth it so I got out at 55. It was killing me.

[crockettnz]

I am 72 and love my work and value I can add to those around me. I still feel like I have a lot to give.

[cheekytyke]

I’m 52, plans to retire at 60 but maybe work 2 days a week to keep ticking along. It’s heart warming to read peoples stories on retirement. Stay happy everyone

[tomTom-lbcu]

The health is absolutely true. I retired at 61 because I had enough. Earlier is better for sure. Don’t let yourself work just to have a bigger pile once you pass for your family to fight over.

[Izzybellita]

I’m 57 and worked hard for 17 years in a highly stressful and dangerous job. Left and came back a year later in a different capacity. I e stayed an additional 3 years. Not worth it! 20 years of my life is more than enough. Toxic and highly stressful environment that’s killing me slowly. Putting in for my retirement this week. Enough is enough. Plan on working to get myself healthier and pursue the things that bring me joy. Life is too short!❤

[karenrockemam]

Was planning to retire at 62, but when I discovered I could pull from my retirement at 59-1/2 I did some rethinking. Was working on my feet 8 hours a day with a bad back, arthritis in hands and neck, and really so exhausted at end of day i didn't do anything. Plus, worked for a company that wanted you to do the work of 2-3 people and really had no loyalty to longtime, hardworking employees. I retired April 1 and don't regret it. Have always been frugal so the financial aspect hasn't changed. Been able to take care of self and exercise. It isn't perfect, but life is less stressful.

[deba.]

I'm so ready, today was my last day! It's a little scary but I think less stress will improve my health. I agree completely with avoiding negative people!

[silverowlthrifter]

Retire as soon as possible. My husband retired this year in January and died suddenly of a heart attack on our 35th wedding anniversary in May. He was 63...he had originally thought he would wait until 65, but a granddaughter was born and we moved it up..as she lived in another state...he had 5 months with her

[jazzjokesjalopies]

I retired a year earlier than planned due to the arrival of a toxic, incompetent boss. My wife and I both felt that interactions with her were unhealthy, and agreed that it wasn't worth it. So we'll hang on to our car for 15 year years instead of 12, that sort of thing. Freedom, peace, family, and health are the real gold. It's refreshing to hear a financial expert who shares this perspective.

[MarkCW]

I retired from my job at 56 and I'm now 60. I still have a young daughter to look after and I am thankful for having the time to spend with her.
