Five Things to Do if You're Forced Into Early Retirement (and How to Reset and Recover)

You're 62. You love your job. You're respected, productive and contributing meaningfully. You were planning to work for five more years.

Then, one day, like thousands of others, you receive an email: Your job is being eliminated. "Stay tuned for a webinar," it says. "More details to come."Or maybe you're 68. You've built a career that's not just successful but deeply fulfilling — so much so that you envision working until 73. You are well-compensated and appreciated for your leadership and institutional knowledge, and you're planning events six months out.

Then, without warning, new management decides to go in a "different direction."Just like that, retirement comes to you — before you're ready.
