Twenty questions for retirement.
In the course of my citywide peregrinations over the past six years I have encountered many retired colleagues. Oddly, their response to retirement has been mixed; that prompted me to survey this group to get some sense of how they are dealing with such a dramatic change in lifestyle. A set of twenty questions was mailed to 80 individuals from varying specialties in the Oklahoma County area; 56 (70%) were completed and returned. Here is a list of the questions and a summary of the answers. The answers vary widely but do reveal some trends.
