Shawn Robertson, 55, shares his journey as a retiree following 34.5 years in Canada’s postal service. Initially challenging, retirement has allowed him to embrace a more relaxed lifestyle, travel frequently with his wife, and reconnect with old friends. His career as a letter carrier was rewarding, as it not only involved physical activity—walking around 15,000 steps daily—but also social interactions with customers. Despite the joy of his job, Robertson felt the need to retire as he sensed changes in the postal business model that made it the right time for him to move on.
After 34 and a half years in the postal service, I decided to retire at 55. I loved my job, but the last six months were tough as I saw the business model changing.
At first, retirement was an adjustment, but I’m really enjoying the slower pace of life now. Traveling with my wife and reconnecting with old friends have added so much joy.
