This is my eight month into ER and I must say my stress level has reduced from a high 9 to a low 1. I know it because I am no longer an insomniac and my bowel movements (my apologies if this sound yukky) are regular. Maybe I'm still in honeymoon time of retirement as I have minimal stress since ER. The few times I remember I had a bit of stress was in the following situations:-
1. the infrequent times I worry I can't wake up in time to catch an early flight for my vacation.
2. In my first 2 months, I did have some stress over financial matters as the reality of missing a monthly paycheck sets in and an unexpected expense surprised me but now I know that the financial plan I have is working out.
3. that one time I upgraded my old mobile phone to a smartphone. I had great phobia and worry that I don't know how to use it.
Am I still in my honeymoon time of retirement or is it really like this after ER - minimal stress and blue skies?
