You’ve worked hard, saved diligently, and now retirement is here! But nobody warns you about the six major things that disappear the moment you leave the workforce. If you’re not prepared, these changes can hit harder than expected—but the good news? You can replace them with something even better!

In this episode of Early Retirement Roadmap, I’ll break down:
✅ The six things that vanish when you retire—and why they matter 🏆
✅ How to rediscover purpose and avoid feeling lost 💡
✅ Why having structure & routine in retirement is crucial 📅
✅ How to replace career achievements with new personal goals 🏅
✅ The surprising impact of losing your work identity—and how to rebuild it 🎭
✅ How to maintain social connections when your work network disappears 👥

I’ll also share my personal experience transitioning from my 30-year career to early retirement and the lessons I learned along the way!
