Retirement involves an individual giving up roles that are usually vital to their identity and their self esteem (Berk, 2010).

It is at around 50 that the so called midlife crisis sets in and for some psychological problems arise and may affect people for a short time and for some a long time depending on the individual person. For a normal person this is the half way mark of life and they may begin to think back on incomplete goals and the things they never got to do.
