Over 50% Rated Their Retirement After 2 years as Only ‘OK or less’

The period immediately after retirement is know as the ‘honeymoon’ period. This is fairly self explanatory but in the five stage model this is Stage 2. It tells us that happiness in retirement typically peaks for a period of up to 2 years after retirement – the ‘Honeymoon’ period. Our recent survey indicated that 47% of men were ‘Good or Great’ during the Honeymoon period, whilst a slight majority, 53%, were ‘OK or Less.’
