The idea of retirement is one that’s filled with plenty of rest and relaxation, but the reality is stress doesn’t go away. From losing the structure of a daily routine to the challenges of socializing and finding a new purpose, the pitfalls of retirement can certainly increase the stress you’re feeling.

We heard from someone recently who had this concern about their upcoming transition so we want to address the unexpected stresses that come with leaving the workforce. Here’s the scenario John will discuss:

I heard someone talking the other day about how stressful life has been for her since she retired. Maybe I'm missing the point of retirement because I thought the idea was to reduce stress. But now I'm second-guessing my plans to retire in about six months. What am I missing?

Whether you're six months or several years away from retirement, this topic could change the way you approach your golden years.

As you approach retirement or begin that next stage of life, the financial goals shift to protecting what you’ve saved. There are different ways to accomplish that goal, but with the volatility we’ve seen from the market, does it make sense to move to cash to be safe?

Here’s the question we’ll tackle in this video:

I haven’t decided on a specific retirement date yet, but hopefully it will be sometime in the next four years. With all of the recent market volatility, should I just move my retirement savings to cash until everything blows over?

We’ll provide context for this conversation by looking back at the market in the past few years and then explain how we help people answer this question.
