3 in 10 Americans Say This Is a Major Retirement Concern -- and They're Right
I have a lot of friends whose parents are retired. When I see them (the parents, that is), I'll ask how retirement is going since it's a topic I'm clearly invested in. Often, the responses will be mixed. Some will say that it's going fine; others will point to inflation as a source of stress.
But all told, a lot of my friends' parents don't seem particularly thrilled about being retired. And a big reason comes down to boredom.
They're not alone. Recent data from Northwestern Mutual reveals that 31% of Americans are most concerned about boredom in the context of their retirement planning. And frankly, it's a good thing that they're acknowledging that, because boredom in retirement can be a big problem.
