I found this interesting article on WSJ about a researcher who studies retirement/aging and now, he himself has retired (a year and half). He is reflecting from the experience and perspective.

Probably most of the items have been mentioned by others on this board here but it is interesting to hear it from a person who did this for a living....
If you have time, check out the comments following the article. There seems to have nuggets of good info as well.
