A study shows that retirees are more dissatisfied than ever with retirement. Retirees who are completely satisfied with their retirement has dropped over 12% in the past twenty years.

Other reasons may include unreasonable expectations for happiness, showing that retirees want more diverse activities like flexible jobs in retirement.
