Rightfully so, many people are nervous to retire. They have been working for 40ish years and the thought of retiring sends shivers down their spine. Others are excited and can't wait to pull the plug. No matter which one you are, don't let anyone tell you the RIGHT way for you to retire. My best advice is there isn't ONE way to retire. There are many, many ways and what is right for one person may not be right for another. Take the time to research, ask questions, listen to podcasts and video's but make the BEST decision for you and your circumstances. And don't be scared to say "this isn't what I expected" and try something new. Don't be scared to go back to work! Don't be scared to say I wasn't ready and don't be scared to say this is GREAT!
