This may not be a positive experience emotionally because they may believe that they are unimportant and powerless, with little left to contribute. In addition, they are faced with the decision of what to do with the rest of their life. People who retire often go from a routine that fills much of their day to one with much more free time. Some retirees have difficulty coping with a reduced income. Others resent their diminished role in society.
