There is a need to further understand the nature and role of planning for one's lifestyle in retirement.
The purpose of this study was to examine retirement planning and how it impacts perceived preparedness and satisfaction with the retirement transition, as well as to explore personal experiences of retirement.
Canadians ( = 748) fully or partly retired participated in an online survey that included quantitative questions about perceived retirement preparedness and satisfaction and open-ended questions about retirement goals, fears, challenges, and advice.
Results determined that while both financial and lifestyle planning were significant predictors of higher perceived preparedness, only lifestyle planning was a significant predictor for satisfaction. Overall, no gender differences were detected. Open-ended comments highlighted the importance of planning for one's lifestyle in retirement, including meaningful activities and social connections.
Individualized career advising as well as group-based educational programs or peer-assisted learning initiatives appear warranted to support people in planning for their lifestyle in retirement.
有必要进一步了解退休生活方式规划的本质和作用。
本研究旨在探讨退休规划及其对退休过渡的感知准备度和满意度的影响，并探索退休的个人经历。
748名已完全或部分退休的加拿大人参与了一项在线调查，其中包括关于退休感知准备度和满意度的定量问题，以及关于退休目标、恐惧、挑战和建议的开放式问题。
结果表明，虽然财务规划和生活方式规划都是更高感知准备度的重要预测因素，但只有生活方式规划是满意度的重要预测因素。总体而言，未发现性别差异。开放式评论强调了退休生活方式规划的重要性，包括有意义的活动和社交联系。
个性化的职业咨询以及基于群体的教育项目或同伴辅助学习倡议似乎有必要，以支持人们规划退休生活方式。
