Things You Should Do On The First Month Of Retirement

The time has come for you to step back and take a breather. After around 40 years of working, it is finally your retirement.  Today is your last day of work, and for the first time in as far as you can remember, tomorrow brings uncertainty. For the first time in years, you have no deadline to meet. You no longer have meetings to attend. You do not even have an office to go to. As you wake up on the first day of retirement, the biggest question you have is...what do I do? Here are some things to do on the very first month or retirement.

​Make concrete plans to meet up with friends and family

It's time to make-up for lost time. If you were very busy with work years prior, you were sure to miss out on some occasions. Take this time to make concrete plans with family and friends to spend some time with them. A brunch with old college folks, a round of tennis with cousins or siblings, or whatever you may be in to. Not only do you get to spend quality time with loved ones, it also gives you something concrete to do. It keeps you from lounging around and watch TV all day. Which brings us to items number 2.

Limit your television time and get up from the couch

If you have nothing planned for the day, chances are you will sit on the couch and watch television the whole day.  Yes, some days lounging around may be great, but they should be very far apart. This is why picking up a hobby or starting a project can help tremendously. It gives you a chance to get out, be active, and be productive. Start writing, go to the gym, or work on the garden, make your free time worthwhile.

Celebrate and enjoy

Don't forget to celebrate and have a good time. You deserve it! After working hard for that long, take time to appreciate and celebrate a new chapter in your life. It may be a nice party, an expensive dinner at a fancy place, or taking a nice trip, celebrate for the moment you've been working for most of your life.
