Retirement can be a challenge. You may live far from your family. You canโt meet new friends. You donโt have job to go to. It can be lonely.
A story on the huffingtonpost.com lists five ways to avoid loneliness in retirement.
- Make an effort to connect with people. Find groups or clubs in your area that share your interests. Take classes.
- Search for meaning. Figure out something important to do. Write a journal. Decide on goals.
- Embrace change. It is not too late to learn new things. At the same time, you will meet new people.
- Give back. You can do this through volunteering and charity work.
- Consider a roommate. If life alone is lonely, you may want to get a roommate. Innovative housing plans are getting more popular.
