I often hear from friends who are scared of all the perceived challenges facing them in retirement. Or they read something on Facebook, which may or may not be accurate, and they get freaked out about the transition from military life to civilian life.
I see those same posts. Mostly, they go something like this:
“I am so stressed out about my spouse’s retirement. I just want to cry all the time.”
Or:
“I don’t know how I am going to handle all this.”
Or:
“We have no idea what we will do next.”
