Retirement offers the freedom to explore life beyond work, but it also raises an important question: How do we find meaning without a daily job?

Studies show that retirees who stay mentally, socially, and physically active report greater happiness and fulfillment. Whether through hobbies, volunteering, or lifelong learning, it’s crucial to set goals that inspire you to engage with life in rewarding ways.

Experts suggest that crafting a purposeful routine can make retirement feel more meaningful. Pursuing activities that reflect your values or help you connect with others fosters a sense of belonging. Even something as simple as establishing a weekly volunteer day or committing to learning a new skill can provide structure and satisfaction.
